そのため(に) (JLPT N3)

Acerca de そのため(に)

そのために is a frequently used conjunction in Japanese that utilizes その, the noun ため 'reason' (occasionally seen as 為(ため)), and the case marking particle に. そのために is most commonly translated as 'for that reason', or 'to that end'.

そのために will be used at the beginning of a new sentence, to highlight something that will be done/occur due to the circumstances/goal of something in the first sentence. に is often omitted.

Caution

ため is very similar to 'sake' in English, and tends to be used far more frequently when referring to goals/positive outcomes, than it is for negative outcomes. However, it may still occasionally be used in negative circumstances, to highlight their (unfortunate) result.

Fun Fact

為(ため) is an exceptionally flexible kanji in Japanese. In addition to ため it is occasionally used for する 'to do', なる 'to become', なす 'to bring about', and つくる 'to make'. The kanji itself means 'to put (something) to use', with heavy emphasis on whatever new state/result will be arrived at afterwards. This meaning can be seen reflected in all of 為(ため)'s readings.
