How to say “turns out”
How to say “turns out”
The “turns out” I speak of is the one you would use when recounting a discovery. For example,
I searched for my phone all day and turns out it was in my bag all along!
or
Turns out he was the murderer.
How would one say these sentences in Japanese?
@Chocolate Unfortunately, my EJ/JE dictionary doesn’t have anything for “turns out.”

Check out the Resources for learning Japanese. The Bilingual Example Dictionaries (under Online Dictionaries) are great as they include multiple usage examples for the phrase you are looking for.

Turns out would usually be 結局けっきょく, so:
I searched for my phone all day and turns out it was in my bag all along!
would become something like 一日中いちにちじゅう携帯けいたいを探したがさがしたが、結局けっきょくかばんの中なかにはいっていた。
and...
Turns out he was the murderer.
would translate to 結局けっきょく彼かれが殺人者さつじんしゃだった。
I hope this helps! Please notify if anything was unclear, of if you'd have additional questions.
