Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

Dōshite and naze are interrogative adverbs used to inquire about a reason or cause. Naze is more formal than dōshite. The phrase no da or no desu (lit., "It is that..."), placed at the end of a sentence is used as a convention for offering a reason or explanation-or, in the case of no desu followed by the question marker ka, for asking for a reason or cause. In ordinary, plain style speech, us no (ex., 4), in both declarative statements and questions.

Examples:


「Q」
なぜ授業に遅れたのですか。
Naze jugyō ni okureta no desu ka.

Why were you late for class?

「A」
目覚まし時計が鳴らなかったのです。
Mezamashi dokei ga naranakatta no desu.

Japanese Language
「Sentence Structure」

This is the same idea as the previous sentence structure entry, only with adjectival predicates instead of verbal ones. The same usage rules apply. However, it is important to note that if the predicate before node is a na-adjective in the present tense, na, rather than da, is used (example 2). Also, if the predicate of the main clause is in the past tense, the tense of the kara or node clause may be either present or past (example 3).

Examples:
その日は忙しいから行きません。
Sono hi isogashii kara ikimasen.
I am busy that day, so I will not go.

この公園は静かだから/静かなのでよく本を読みに来る。
Kono kōen wa shizuka da kara/ shizukana node yoku hon o yomi ni kuru.
Because this park is quiet, I often come here to read books.

この人形は安い/安かったから/ので買いました。

Kono ningyō wa yasui/ yasukatta kara/node kaimashita.
As for this doll, I bought it because it was inexpensive.

Hope this helps!
