Why/Because
Hi all. Can you please explain the difference among "naze", "kara" and "node"?
If I'm not wrong they all translate "why/because" :confused: |
Quote:
before node is dictionary form verb before kara is adverb, adjective and masu form verb see more example at Learn Japanase Language |
Quote:
KARE is the "because" and is used more often in speaking rather than writing. NODE also means because, and is used more often in writing, rather than when speaking. (When speaking it isn't wrong, but sounds a little more formal.) |
So, if I have to say: "Because you didn't say that" I can say: "kono wo yuwanakatta kare", is it right?
|
Oops. I said KARE when should be KARA...sorry.
I would say it Sore wo iwanakatta kara... |
Though I'm not familiar with naze I was taught that node is slightly weaker than kara. Like kara is more definite.

same, i just tend to hear "node" more in formal speech rather than colloquial
|
yup "NODE" is formal for "KARA"
"NAZE" is formal for "DOU SHITE" or "NANDE" |
also -node is more objective than kara.
and you can use -nde for colloquial expression as shortened version of node. isogunde, takainde, isogashiinde, etc. |
