Grammar usage notes

「すなわち」は、「つまり」より客観的。(objective)
主観的(subjective)な時には使うことができない。
その上、「つまり」よりフォーマル。


すなわち is more formal, and B will be more objective than つまり. You cannot use すなわち if B is subjective.

This was on the content for the N5. However, when I used it with a friend of mine, he was surprised that I even knew what that was. Is this kind of vocabulary not common for a beginner?

つまり is much more common. I've seen すなわち in writing, but I don't hear it much in conversation.
