「ばあいは」の情報

場合(ばあい)は is a phrase in Japanese that is often translated to 'in the event of (A)', or 'in the case of (A)'. It can be used with almost any type of word, but will require な when following a な-Adjective, or の when following a noun.

場合(ばあい) by itself is usually translated as 'case', or 'situation'. It is frequently used to highlight a hypothetical situation, or a viewpoint/characteristic of another person.

When 場合(ばあい)は is highlighting a viewpoint/characteristic of another person, this is almost always in contrast/comparison to something that is already being discussed. This is an example of the contrastive nuance of the は particle.

Caution

In relation to a situation, because 場合(ばあい) means 'to encounter (A)', it has a nuance of randomness. Due to this, 場合(ばあい)は will not be used to describe events that regularly occur, or events that can be planned/controlled.

    I got the same response and had no idea what it meant. Even after reading this thread… it took me a while (and a incorrect answer) to figure it out. Haha

    Hello,

    I am wondering what is the difference between using ばあいは and には to say “as for…”.

    わたしの犬いぬのばあいはかぞくといっしょです
    and
    わたしの犬いぬにはかぞくといっしょです

    Look like they have the same meaning to me.
    What do you think?

    Many of the entries have a fun fact or caution. I have been confused several times in conversations hearing it as ばわい or ばやい. Since the point of learning Japanese is to be able to communicate and participate in Japanese conversation, I think it’s worth mentioning on the page. @mrnoone What do you think?
