  • Structure: Add こそ to reason-marking から to strongly highlight precisely that reason.
  • Basic usage: 困難な仕事だからこそ、仲間と協力する価値がある。 presents the difficulty itself as a reason that cooperation is worthwhile.

2. Common pitfalls and similar expressions

  • Emphasizing the reason
    • 大切だから注意する gives a reason, while 大切だからこそ注意する gives particular emphasis to its importance.
  • The preceding predicate form
    • Connect a verb as in 信頼しているからこそ, a noun as in 仲間だからこそ, and a na-adjective as in 大切だからこそ. Keep with the noun and na-adjective.
