“-node,” is a conjunctive particle to express a cause/reason of the main clause. In terms of the relationship between subordinate clause and main clause, “-node,” is used when the main clause is predictable and/or expected one from the subordinate clause.
In the last post, we learned how to use “-node,” in the case that a subordinate clause had the verb predicate. What we are learning today is sentences using “-node,” whose subordinate clauses have an I-adjective, a Na-adjective, or a Noun predicate.
1. Atama ga Itai node, Kaettemo Ii desuka.
2. Ashita no Tenki ga Shimpaina node, Tenkiyohou o Nando mo Mimasu.
3. Ashita wa Kimatsu-shiken na node, Komban Benkyou shinakereba narimasen.
<This post is incomplete.
A comparison with “kara” should be added (Atama ga Itai kara,)
Also, style in front of a conjunctive particle is an issue.
