Gramática de hoje
〜ので
Because / since ~ (soft, polite reason)
Formação
- V普通形 + ので
- いA普通形 + ので
- なA + な + ので
- なA + だった + ので
- N + な + ので
- N + だった + ので
A node B means A is the reason or cause of B. It is close to kara, but node sounds softer and more objective, as if simply explaining the facts. So it is common in polite requests and when giving excuses, for example for being late. For strong opinions or commands, kara sounds more natural.
Exemplos
頭が 痛いので、今日は 早く 帰っても いいですか。
I have a headache, so may I go home early today?
電車が 遅れたので、授業に 間に合いませんでした。
The train was late, so I didn't make it to class on time.
〜ために
In order to ~ / for the sake of ~
Formação
- V辞書形 + ために
- N + の + ために
There are two uses. (1) Purpose: A tame ni B means the subject does B in order to achieve A. A is a deliberate action like iku or kau, and the same person does A and B. (2) Benefit: person/thing + no tame ni means 'for the sake of' them, as in kazoku no tame ni. Nouns like kenkou no tame ni can also show a purpose.
Exemplos
