アオのハコ » Volume 10 » Page 96

As Taiki arrives home, Chinatsu is heading out for a walk.

大喜(たいき):
(さむ)いのに?」
“Even though it's cold?”
千夏(ちなつ):
だからこそ (ふゆ)(かん)じにいくんだよ」
That's exactly why; I'm going to feel the winter.”

Key Points

  1. だからこそ means precisely because of that

    • Taiki says it is cold; Chinatsu responds that this is exactly the reason she is going out.

    • こそ adds emphasis, reversing what might sound like a reason not to go.

  2. The following phrase gives the purpose

    • (ふゆ)(かん)じにいく means she is going to feel or experience winter.

    • に+いく marks that as the purpose of going.

  3. んだよ explains her reasoning warmly

    • んだ presents the answer as an explanation.

    • よ adds a gentle assertive tone: she is telling Taiki how she sees it.
