Aprende gramática del idioma Japonés: (kara) / (da kara). Significado: because; since; from.

This grammar can be used in two different ways to express two different meanings. Both forms are very commonly used in Japanese, so it is important to understand how to use both forms and to be able to comprehend them correctly.

Let’s look at some specific examples below:

Meaning 1) because; since

The first meaning expresses a cause and effect type relationship. Because of [A], [B].

ashita tesuto ga aru kara, konya benkyou tsumori da.

Since I have a test tomorrow, I plan to study tonight.

Verbs can also be used in past tense form

kesa tesuto ga atta kara, ima wa chotto tsukareta.

I had a test this morning, so I’m a bit tired now.

Nouns change to (dakara)

daiji na shiken dakara, ganbaru!

This is a very important test, so I will do my best!

な-adjectives also use (dakara)

ano hito wa itsumo totemo shizuka dakara, ichido mo hanashita koto ga nai.

That person is always really quiet, so I haven’t ever talked to them.

い-adjectives use the regular (kara) form

atsui kara, mado o akete kudasai.

It’s pretty hot, so could you please open the window?


Meaning 2) from; since

learn japanese grammar から kara

The second meaning does not imply a cause and effect relationship like meaning 1. Instead, it focuses on what comes before (kara).

[A] = From/since [A],… (note that the order is reversed compared to English)

It can be used to express something from a person

kono shatsu wa kanojo kara moratta.

I got this shirt from my girlfriend.

It can also express from/since a location/time

umareta toki kara amerika ni sundeiru.

I have been living in America since I was born.

Another example

juu nana ji kara arubaito ga aru.

I’ve got my part time job from 5pm.
