日本語のおしゃべり

Japanese Language
「Adjectives and Adverbs」

「Adj cond + koso ～ばこそ」
"because," "only because"

The conditional form of an i- or a na-adjective (the ba form) plus koso puts emphasis on a reason or cause.

Examples:
楽しければこそ祖父は毎日庭で働きます。
Tanoshikereba koso sofu wa mainichi niwa de hatarakimasu.
Because it's enjoyable, my grandfather works in the yard everyday.

野田さんは大胆なら/大胆であればこそひとりで登山します。
Noda-san wa daitan nara/daitan de areba koso hitori de tozan shimasu.
Only because he is bold, Mr. Noda climbs mountains alone.

好きなら/好きであればこそ下手でもゴルフがやめられない。
Suki nara/suki de areba koso heta demo gorufu ga yamerarenai.
Because I love golf, I can't give it up, even though I am poor at it.

Hope this helps!

じゃまたね！
