JLPT N4 Grammar

ために（原因）

N4Cause / Reason

N4 · Cause / Reason · noun + の / verbplain form + ため（に）

because of; due to

noun + の / verbplain form + ため（に）

ため（に） can state a relatively formal cause, often followed by an actual or natural result.

The cause use is formal; the following clause is often an already occurred or natural result.

台風のため、駅での説明会は中止になりました。

Due to the typhoon, the information session at the station was canceled.

Do not automatically translate it as 'in order to'; for cause, the result is often non-volitional.

With weather, accidents, or trouble followed by a result, ため often means 'due to.'
