なぜなら(ば)からだ (nazenara ba karada)

gives the cause; used to state why something is so

Meaning & usage

なぜなら(ば)からだ introduces the reason for a statement made in the previous sentence, working like a formal written equivalent of から. It follows a complete sentence in plain form, and the reason clause ends with からだ (or だから). The optional ば makes it slightly more formal; it is common in essays and formal writing.
