How can I say in Japanese “I study Japanese because I’ll go to Japan next month?”
Add the reason
When you want to add a causal clause which explains the reason why you do so or why it is so, add at the end of the phrase,
から
kara
because
For example,
Reason:
来月、日本へ行きます。
raigetsu, nihon e iki masu
I go to Japan next month.
Action:
日本語を勉強します。
nihon wo benkyou shi masu
I study Japanese.
Combine:
来月、日本へ行きますから、日本語を勉強します。
raigetsu, nihon e iki masu kara, nihongo wo benkyou shi masu.
I study Japanese because I go to Japan next month.
Ask for the reason
To ask for the reason,
どうして
doushite
Why
is typically used.
For example,
どうして日本語を勉強しますか。
doushite nihongo wo benkyou shi masu ka.
Why do you study Japanese?
and we answer:
来月、日本へ行きますから、日本語を勉強します。
raigetsu nihon e iki masu kara, nihongo wo benkyou shi masu.
I study Japanese because I go to Japan next month.
