Unlike English, where the word &ldquo;because&rdquo; appears at the beginning of the clause it modifies, in Japanese the word &#12363;&#12425; is placed after the clause it applies to. Placement aside, the word is fairly versatile, and can follow either a verb or a form of the copula &#65288;&#12391;&#12377;, desu or &#12384;, da).<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Some resources will list &#12384;&#12363;&#12425; (dakara) as the word for because, but this is actually just the casual form of the copular &#65288;&#12384;, da) followed by &#12363;&#12425;.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>The basics of &#12363;&#12425; (kara)<\/h2>\n<p>You say &ldquo;because&rdquo; in <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/linguaholic.com\/linguablog\/study-japanese\/\">Japanese<\/a> <\/strong>by using the word &#12363;&#12425; (kara).<\/p>\n<p>Unlike many Japanese words, which can be written in kanji, &#12363;&#12425; only ever appears in hiragana.<\/p>\n<p>Just like the English &ldquo;because,&rdquo; &#12363;&#12425; is a conjunction, a type of word used to connect two clauses in a sentence.<\/p>\n<p>More technically speaking, it&rsquo;s a coordinating conjunction, used to show the relationship between the main clause of a sentence with a subordinate clause that can&rsquo;t stand alone.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Where to place &#12363;&#12425; in a clause<\/h2>\n<p>Unlike in English, where &ldquo;because&rdquo; appears at the beginning of a clause it modifies, the Japanese &#12363;&#12425; needs to be placed at the <em>end<\/em> of the clause it applies to.<\/p>\n<p>This means that in most cases you will see &#12363;&#12425; between the subordinate clause and the main clause.<\/p>\n<p>We&rsquo;ll look at some exceptions to this later in the article, however.<\/p>\n<h3>Examples<\/h3>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>&#12300;&#12358;&#12385;&#12395;&#24112;&#12426;&#12383;&#12356;&#12363;&#12425;&#12289;&#20181;&#20107;&#12434;&#12418;&#12387;&#12392;&#26089;&#12367;&#12375;&#12394;&#12373;&#12356;&#12290;&#12301;<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I want to go home, so please do your work more quickly.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>It would be ungrammatical, as well as nonsensical to any Japanese native speakers, to place &#12363;&#12425; before the clause &#12358;&#12385;&#12395;&#24112;&#12426;&#12383;&#12356; (&ldquo;I want to go home&rdquo;).<\/p>\n<div class=\"su-note\" style=\"border-color:#e5e54c;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\"><div class=\"su-note-inner su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\" style=\"background-color:#FFFF66;border-color:#ffffff;color:#333333;border-radius:3px;-moz-border-radius:3px;-webkit-border-radius:3px;\">\n<p><strong>&#12300;&#24444;&#22899;&#12399;&#29483;&#12364;&#22823;&#22909;&#12365;&#12384;&#12363;&#12425;&#12289;&#23376;&#29483;&#12398;&#32117;&#12434;&#26360;&#12365;&#12414;&#12375;&#12383;&#12290;&#12301; <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;My girlfriend loves cats, so I drew a picture of a kitten.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>Again, &#12363;&#12425; comes after the clause &#24444;&#22899;&#12399;&#29483;&#12364;&#22823;&#22909;&#12365;&#12384; (&ldquo;my girlfriend loves cats&rdquo;).<\/p>\n<p>The eagle-eyed reader may notice that there&rsquo;s a difference in these two examples.<\/p>\n<p>In the first, only &#12363;&#12425; (kara) is used.
