Long explanation:
'~하여 [hayeo]' is a connecting ending used in Korean to indicate cause-effect relationship, similar to 'so' or 'therefore' in English. It is used to introduce a clause that presents a reason or cause of an action, situation, or state described in the preceding clause. This grammar point is generally used in formal and written contexts.
