Tentang せいで

Although written almost exclusively in hiragana, せい is a noun that may be better understood from its kanji, 所為(せい), meaning 'doings'. せい is used to convey negative results that occurred due to the behavior or actions of another person/thing. Because of this, common translations of せい are 'fault', 'due to', or 'because of'.

As せい is a noun, it may be used after the attributive form of any other word. The case marking particle で will also regularly be seen after せい, especially when conveying the (B) result that occurred 'with' or 'by means of' those 'doings'.

Fun Fact

The 'doings' that 所為(せい) represents is similar to the negative 'doings' that is used in English to place blame. This can be seen in phrases such as 'it was the weather's doings', or 'ah, so the missing cookies were your doings!'

        Hey

        It is not allowed here, because で in せいで is てform of a noun/なadjective, and the てform is used to connect parts of the sentence (clauses). When せい is used at the end of the sentence (so-called predicate position), there is no other part that will be joined so てform is not needed and as with any other noun/なadjective だ・です・and so on follow.

        I will fix the structure section so it will be more clear

        Cheers,
        I hope it helps!

        Hey!

        Reading I’ve come upon the “せいか”-grammar!
        I tried looking it up and found this grammar structure instead, but it seems like it kinda means the same - maybe せいか being a bit less direct?

        Is there a grammar chapter I’ve overlooked or should it even be added here?

        Greetings

        Sorry to ping you over something you probably know by now, but I thought it’d be good for people who stumble across your comment.

        If you are sure of the reason, use せい
        If you are unsure of the reason (but still think it), use せいか
