following logically

Usage Note

Consequenziale means 'logically following as a consequence', closer to English 'consequent' than 'consequential' (which in English often means 'important'). Use it when describing an action or decision that flows necessarily from a premise: una scelta consequenziale means a choice that is the logical follow-through of a prior commitment.

Examples

"La sua decisione era consequenziale alle premesse."

Natural Translation

His decision was consequential to the premises.
