〜もの/〜もん

接続:普通形+もの/もん
because; used to justify in speech
注意 / Note:Look at the front form: ability+ものなら; justification+ものだから; change writing ideas+ものの; emotional speech+もん.
比較 / Compare:Same article: 〜ものだから/〜もので/〜ものなら/〜ものの. These models are often mistakenly chosen for each other — carefully read the 接続 and nuances above and then decide.
よく出る形 / Common form:普通形+んだもの/んだもん(end of sentence)。Oral language, often used when explaining. 〜もん is more informal than 〜もの.
行きたくないよ。雨が降っているんだもの。
I don't want to go anywhere, because it's raining.
知らなかったんだもん。
Because I don't know.
だって、誰も教えてくれなかったんだもの。
Because no one showed it to me.
