Tentang ば〜ほど

Bahasa Indonesia

Bahasa Jepang

ば～ほど is a combination of the conjunction particle ば, and the noun ほど. It is used in a similar way to 'the more ~ the more' in English. Literally, it just highlights that 'if it is (A), then the limit of (A) will be controlled only by its extent'.

To use ば～ほど, ば will be paired with the hypothetical form of any verb/い-Adjective (or noun/な-Adjective with なら on the end), before the same word will be repeated in its attributive form. After this, a (B) part of the sentence will highlight what the expected result of (A) is.

As である (the formal version of だ) may replace な with な-Adjectives (or なら with nouns), sometimes である will be used instead of な/なら, in regard to both nouns and な-Adjectives.

Caution

When this expression is used with する verbs, the noun that する is linked to in the ば part of the sentence does not need to be repeated in the ほど part.

Fun Fact

Sometimes, the ば 'hypothetical' part of the sentence will be omitted altogether, leaving ほど to perform a similar function by itself.

You can repeat it in the way that you did, but you don’t have to. If it’s not repeated it should be 静かであればあるほど without the で. The same applies to nouns too.

I see, thank you so much!! This makes more sense to me now.

勉強すればする程ほど、日本語が上手くなる。
If [you] study, [your] Japanese gets good to the extent that [you] study.

God, this makes so much more sense now! At first I tried to translate it as

If you study, your Japanese gets so good that you study. (What?)

Meaning that first your Japanese gets good and, as a consequence of that, you study.

I think at first I got the wrong idea that the part preceding ほど is always the result/consequence of something. As in:

死ぬほど練習した。
I practiced myself to death.
(I 練習する and, as a consequence of that, I 死ぬ)

涙が出るほど嬉しい。
I am so happy that I could cry.
(I am 嬉しい and, as a consequence of that, I 涙が出る)

But here it’s the other way around: first you study to some extent and, as a consequence of that, your Japanese gets better.
