それというのも (soretoiunomo) Meaning Japanese Grammar - The Fact Is That

それというのも (sore to iu no mo) is an expression meaning the reason is that ... , the fact is that ... .

それ (sore) is a demonstration of the kosoado series.

それ means that referring to an object far from the speaker and close to the listener.

We find それ in many expressions that take on various nuances in use, including:

• それにしては

• それにしても

• それから

• それで

• それはそうと

それというのも is one of those that we are going to deepen today, also trying to render the translation of the single parts: sore to iu no mo.

The reason is that, the fact is that

• それ is the first element which means that

• と is a particle which we know as a conjunction and. と connects what was said above: それ, that thing said.　と also has another function: it is used in direct speech in a conversation.

Literally it can be translated in several ways:

• He said: "I am not coming".

• "I'm not coming", so he said

• He said that he wouldn't come.

いう transcribed in kanji is 言(い)う and means say, affirm

という we can translate it with so-called, said, called, named ...

の is a particle that we know with the possession value:

An interpretation sees の synonymous with こと (thing), も is the particle that translates also:

• the fact is also that ..., the thing is that ...

As you can see, we are not always able to translate the expression properly.

In the Japanese language you often have to learn a form as it is, without a precise translation.

And when we are translating the language, we look for expressions and idioms that are closest to the original Japanese text and at the same time that are natural in the language in which we are going to express them.

The expression we are analyzing is translated as the reason is that ..., the fact is that ....

When using それというのも

It is used when making a statement or citing a fact and later explaining the reasons for the action or fact initially expressed.

In this grammatical form （B） expresses the reason for （A）.

Literally: the reason is that he keeps losing every day at the Pachinko.

Literally: the reason is that I have to finish the job.

The second proposition is of causal type and is obtained with the base form of the verb followed by the particle から, which we translate since ... .

というのも: because, because of, the reason is that

The same expression is also used without the demonstrative それ.

• In two separate sentences, the position at the beginning of the second sentence explains the reasons for what is stated in the first.

• Another position is the one after a noun, used to add emphasis.

• というのも at the beginning of a single sentence

Short quote from a novel:

Synonyms of というのも:

• 何故(なぜ)なら because ..., the reason is that ...

• 何故(なぜ)ならば because ..., the reason is that ...
