How do you say "so". Believe it or not, all I tend to hear is "so" in the midst of the Irish. Is this fully over into Irish, or is there a native way which is still used? I have some ideas, but really am not sure. Here are two example sentences:

I have lived in Ireland for years, so I am acclimated to the weather.

or

I don't study Irish often enough, so I am constantly making mistakes.

GRMA!

I might be wrong but 'mar sin' can be used for 'so'.

A Sheáin,ceapaim go bhfuil an ceart ag Séamas. Mar shampla:

It's getting late,so we'll go home = Tá sé ag éirí déanach agus mar sin rachaimíd abhaile.

And so he thinks = Agus mar sin a cheapann sé.

Tá súil agam go cabhraíonn sé sin.

As an interjection, you will hear so.

However, to use it in a sentence

mar sin/dá bhrí sin/ etc.

Go raibh maith againbh. Uaireanta is iad na rudaí deacra na rudaí beaga.
