Dec 13, 2012 at 5:04 | comment | added | dainichi | I think it might exist in some dialects, but in standard Japanese, it is ungrammatical regardless of formality. Unless it's こわい、だから[...] which is something else. | |
Dec 13, 2012 at 4:19 | comment | added | yadokari | thank you. would you say that こわいだから is something uncommon to hear from the mouth of a native speaker? | |

Dec 13, 2012 at 1:00 | comment | added | dainichi | こわいだから is ungrammatical in any register. Informal: こわい‐こわいから‐こわいからだ, formal: こわいです‐こわいですから‐こわいからです. As @jkerian says, こわい(です)から is a subclause without a main clause (a phenomenon quite common in spoken Japanese), こわいからだ/です is a full sentence, with the main clause being the bare copula. | |
Dec 12, 2012 at 15:56 | comment | added | jkerian | こわい is a 形容詞/iAdjective, so it is basically never followed by a だ (although 形容詞+です is the formula to make a sentence-final 形容詞 polite). For a 名詞/noun like 大丈夫, the +だ is required to end the sentence. What I think is happening in the こわいから example is technically forming a dependent clause, then eliding(?) the main part of the sentence. | |
Dec 12, 2012 at 15:11 | comment | added | yadokari | I was thinking that although から is frowned upon for ending a sentence (?), perhaps だから would be a little different because it is a separate word? for example "大丈夫だから" is somewhat common, is it not? | |
Dec 12, 2012 at 15:08 | comment | added | yadokari | @dainichi, thank you. Is it ungrammatical for the same reason that こわいですから。is technically incorrect, or is there another reason. Am I mistaken, or is the exclamation こわいだから! somewhat common colloquially? | |
Dec 12, 2012 at 7:10 | comment | added | dainichi | こわいだから is ungrammatical, you probably mean こわいから. | |
