~から (because)

grammar

69 sentences

The conjunction ~から after a clause, marking the cause or reason — 'because X, Y.' Attaches to clause-final verb/adjective/copula. States the reason directly and somewhat subjectively, while the similar ~ので sounds softer and more indirect. The polite sentence-closing form ~からです gives a reason for what was just said. Frequently combined with である for a slightly elevated register.
