なぜなら

接続:文。なぜなら、文からだ。
because; Give a reason for the previous sentence
注意 / Note:The end of a sentence almost always has to end with 〜からだ/〜からです — if you leave it out, the sentence is dead. Formal, common in writing and presentations.
比較 / Compare:Same song: というのは/というのも. 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:文。なぜなら、〜からだ/からです。Also occurs in the form なぜならば.
今日は休みます。なぜなら、熱があるからです。
I'm off today because I have a fever.
彼を信頼している。なぜなら、正直だからだ。
