GrammarBook N5: ~ので (Because – Polite)

N5-G-057

~ので (Because – Polite)

Supporting / Reasoning

👀 Layer A: Visual Guide (直感理解)

📝 Quick Summary (まとめ)

「から (Kara)」よりも丁寧で柔らかい理由の言い方です。言い訳をするときや、目上の人に説明するときによく使います。
Use “Node” to state a reason politely. It is softer than “Kara” and is preferred when making excuses, asking favors, or speaking to superiors.

Verb/i-adj: [Plain Form] + ので。
Noun/na-adj: [Noun] + な + ので。

🔗 Connected Grammar (関連文法):

  • N5-G-056: ~からです (Because – Direct)
  • N5-G-049: Plain Present Form (Base for connection)

🔍 Layer B: Deepening (深掘り)

💡 Raya’s Hack (攻略法)

「名詞」と「な形容詞」は「な (NA)」でつなぐ!
「から」と「ので」の最大の違いはここです。
* 好き だ から (Suki DA kara)
* 好き な ので (Suki NA node)
「ので」は音が柔らかいので、強い「だ (DA)」ではなく、優しい「な (NA)」を使います。リズムで覚えましょう!

For Nouns and Na-adjectives, change “DA” to “NA” before “Node”. “Kara” uses “Da”, but “Node” uses “Na”. “Suki NA node”. Memorize this rhythm!

🚧 Joy’s Mistake (よくある間違い)

Scene: Joy is late because of rain.

Joy: 「雨だので、遅れました。」
(Ame da node, okuremashita.)

❌ Grammar Error!

Why?

「だ (DA)」と「ので (NODE)」は一緒に使えません。
正解は「雨 な ので (Ame NA node)」です。

You cannot use “DA” with “Node”. You must switch “DA” to “NA”. Correct: “Ame NA node”.
