〜はもちろん

At the A1 level, you are just starting to learn how to connect ideas. While 'wa mochiron' is usually taught later (around B1), you can think of it as a super-powered 'and.' Imagine you are talking about things you like. Instead of just saying 'I like apples and bananas,' you are saying 'Apples are a given (of course I like them!), but I also like bananas.' At this level, focus on using it with very simple nouns like food, colors, or family members. It helps you sound more natural and less like a robot just listing things. Just remember the pattern: [Noun 1] wa mochiron [Noun 2] mo. The 'mo' at the end is like the 'also' in English. Even if you don't use it perfectly yet, recognizing it when people speak will help you understand when they are emphasizing something extra special.
At the A2 level, you are building more complex sentences. 'Wa mochiron' is a great way to show that you understand what is 'normal' or 'expected' in a situation. For example, if you are talking about your hometown, you might say 'The food is good, of course, but the people are also kind.' This shows you can categorize information. You should practice using it with common daily topics like school, work, and hobbies. A key thing to remember at this level is that the first word (the one before 'wa mochiron') should be the most important or obvious one. If you are talking about a famous person, their 'name' is the obvious thing everyone knows, so that goes first. Practice the rhythm of the sentence: [Obvious Thing] wa mochiron, [Extra Thing] mo [Verb].
B1 is the level where 'wa mochiron' is officially introduced in most Japanese textbooks (like Genki II or Tobira). At this stage, you should be able to use it accurately with both nouns and nominalized verbs. You are expected to understand the nuance of 'obviousness.' You can use it to make your arguments more persuasive in essays or speeches. For example, 'To protect the environment, recycling is a given, but we must also reduce our consumption.' Notice how this sounds more professional than just using 'and.' You should also start noticing how it pairs with other particles like 'made' (even) or 'sae' (even) to add more 'punch' to your sentences. This is the level where you move from simple lists to structured emphasis.
At the B2 level, you should be using 'wa mochiron' fluently in a variety of registers. You should also be able to distinguish it from its more formal cousin, 'wa moto yori,' and its more dramatic cousin, 'bakari ka.' You can use it to describe complex social issues or business strategies. For example, 'This new policy will benefit the employees, not to mention the company's long-term growth.' At this level, you should also be comfortable using it with negative structures to show a total lack of something (e.g., 'He can't even do A, let alone B'). Your usage should feel natural, and you should be able to use the nominalizing 'no' or 'koto' without hesitation when attaching the phrase to verbs or adjectives.
At the C1 level, you are expected to have a nuanced command of this expression. You might use it rhetorically to set up a 'straw man' argument or to acknowledge a counter-argument before moving to your main point. You understand the cultural implications of what is considered 'mochiron' (obvious) in Japanese society versus your own culture. You can use it in high-level academic writing or professional negotiations to show that you have considered all standard options and are now proposing something additional. You also recognize when a speaker uses 'wa mochiron' sarcastically or to imply that something *should* be obvious even if it isn't. Your mastery extends to the subtle flow of the sentence, ensuring the 'mo' or 'sae' in the second half perfectly matches the intended intensity.
At the C2 level, 'wa mochiron' is a tool you use with precision and stylistic flair. You can weave it into complex, multi-clause sentences without losing the logical thread. You might use it in literary analysis, legal discussions, or high-level political discourse. You are also fully aware of its historical roots and how it relates to classical Japanese structures. You can effortlessly switch between 'wa mochiron,' 'wa moto yori,' and 'nomi narazu' depending on the exact tone and medium of your communication. At this level, the expression is no longer a 'grammar point' to be remembered, but a natural part of your linguistic toolkit, used to create sophisticated, balanced, and persuasive Japanese prose and speech.
इसका अभ्यास करें उदाहरण नोट्स और सुझाव

〜はもちろん 30 सेकंड में

  • Expresses that 'A' is obvious/expected, while adding 'B' as an additional fact.
  • Follows the pattern: [Noun A] + はもちろん + [Noun B] + も.
  • Commonly translated as 'not to mention,' 'as well as,' or 'let alone.'
  • Essential for N3 level Japanese and useful for adding emphasis in speech.

The Japanese expression 〜はもちろん (wa mochiron) is a fundamental grammatical structure used to emphasize that a particular fact or condition is so obvious that it goes without saying, while simultaneously introducing another related fact that is also true. At its core, it functions as a bridge between the 'expected' and the 'additional.' When you use this phrase, you are setting a baseline of understanding with your listener. You are saying, 'We both know that A is true; it is a given, a certainty, a matter of course. But did you know that B is also true?' This creates a rhetorical hierarchy where the first element is the most representative or obvious example of a category, and the second element expands the scope of the statement. The word mochiron itself is composed of the kanji 勿 (not/do not) and 論 (argument/theory), literally meaning 'no argument needed' or 'unquestionable.' When combined with the topic marker 'wa,' it transforms into a functional postpositional phrase that anchors the sentence in a shared reality before expanding upon it.

Grammatical Function
It acts as a compound particle phrase that attaches primarily to nouns to indicate that the noun is a 'given' or 'obvious' case.
Rhetorical Purpose
To emphasize the extent of a situation by starting with the most certain example.
Social Nuance
It conveys a sense of confidence and comprehensiveness in the speaker's assertion.

このレストランは、味はもちろん、サービスも素晴らしい。
(At this restaurant, the taste is a given, but the service is also wonderful.)

In the example above, the speaker assumes that everyone expects a restaurant to have good food (the taste is 'mochiron'). The emphasis is placed on the 'service,' which might be an unexpected or additional positive attribute. This structure is incredibly versatile, appearing in everything from casual conversations about hobbies to formal business presentations regarding market reach. It allows the speaker to categorize information efficiently, ensuring that the listener understands the priority and the scope of the topic being discussed. Linguistically, it often pairs with the particle も (mo), さえ (sae), or まで (made) in the subsequent clause to reinforce the 'also' or 'even' aspect of the addition. Without this second part, the sentence often feels incomplete, as the 'obvious' part requires a 'less obvious' counterpart to justify the use of the expression.

彼は英語はもちろん、中国語も話せます。
(He can speak English, not to mention Chinese.)

Semantic Range
Covers 'not to mention,' 'as well as,' 'let alone,' and 'it goes without saying.'
Usage Frequency
Extremely high in both spoken and written Japanese (JLPT N3 level).

Furthermore, while 'wa mochiron' is primarily used with nouns, it can be adapted for use with verbs and adjectives by using the nominalizer の (no) or こと (koto). For instance, 'Eating is a given' becomes 'Taberu no wa mochiron.' This flexibility makes it a cornerstone of intermediate Japanese grammar, enabling speakers to construct complex thoughts that reflect a nuanced understanding of social expectations and logical progression. It is not merely a translation of 'and,' but a sophisticated tool for highlighting the 'extra' value of the second item mentioned.

Mastering the use of 〜はもちろん requires understanding its specific syntax and the logical relationship between the two parts of the sentence. The basic formula is: [Noun A] + はもちろん + [Noun B] + も/まで/さえ + [Verb/Adjective]. The key is the second particle. While も (mo) is the most common, using さえ (sae - even) or まで (made - even to the point of) can add layers of intensity or surprise to the statement.

Step 1: Identify the 'Given'
Choose the element that is most obviously associated with the topic. If talking about a smartphone, 'calling' or 'internet' are the 'given' elements.
Step 2: Identify the 'Addition'
Choose the element that adds extra value or is slightly more impressive. For a smartphone, this might be 'high-quality video editing' or 'waterproofing.'

このスマホは、デザインはもちろん、機能も充実している。
(This smartphone has a great design, not to mention its extensive features.)

When using verbs or adjectives, you must nominalize them. This is a common point of confusion for learners. You cannot say 'Taberu wa mochiron.' Instead, you must say 'Taberu no wa mochiron' or 'Taberu koto wa mochiron.' This transforms the action into a 'thing' that can be treated as the 'given' topic. Similarly, with i-adjectives, use 'no' (e.g., 'Oishii no wa mochiron'), and with na-adjectives, use 'na no' (e.g., 'Kirei na no wa mochiron').

The structure also works in the negative, though it is less common. For example, 'Not only can he not read, he can't even speak.' In this case, you would say 'Yomu koto wa mochiron, hanasu koto mo dekimasen.' Note that the negative verb at the end applies to both parts of the sentence. This creates a powerful 'double negative' effect that emphasizes total inability or lack.

Sentence Pattern A
Noun + はもちろん + Noun + も
Sentence Pattern B
Verb-dictionary + のはもちろん + Noun + も
Sentence Pattern C
Adjective + のはもちろん + Noun + も

彼女は歌はもちろん、ダンスもプロ級だ。
(Her singing is a given, but her dancing is also professional level.)

One final nuance: the scope of 'B' (the second element) should generally be equal to or larger than 'A.' If 'A' is 'Japan,' 'B' might be 'the whole world.' If 'A' is 'children,' 'B' might be 'adults.' This logical progression is what gives the phrase its persuasive power. It leads the listener from a point of agreement to a point of new information or expanded perspective.

You will encounter 〜はもちろん in a vast array of contexts, ranging from the highly commercial to the deeply personal. In the world of Japanese advertising and marketing, it is a ubiquitous tool. Copywriters use it to list the features of a product in a way that feels exhaustive and convincing. For example, a travel agency might say, 'The scenery is a given, but the food is also exquisite,' to convince a potential traveler that every aspect of the trip has been considered.

Commercials
'Quality is a given, but the price is also surprising!' (Yasusa wa mochiron...)
Interviews
Athletes often say, 'Winning is a given (as a goal), but I also want to inspire people.'
News Reports
'The damage was severe in the city, not to mention the rural areas.'

このイベントは子供はもちろん、大人も楽しめます。
(This event can be enjoyed by children, not to mention adults.)

In business settings, it is used to demonstrate thoroughness. A project manager might report that 'The primary objectives were met, not to mention the secondary goals.' This suggests that the team didn't just do the bare minimum but went above and beyond. It is a phrase that projects competence and a wide-angle view of the situation. In formal speeches, such as at weddings or graduation ceremonies, it is used to acknowledge multiple groups of people: 'I want to thank my parents, of course, but also my teachers and friends.'

In daily conversation, it's often used when recommending things. 'That movie is great! The story is a given, but the music is incredible.' It adds a layer of enthusiasm. You'll also hear it in anime and drama when a character is boasting or describing someone's multi-talented nature. 'He's good at sports, of course, but he's also the top of the class!' It serves to build up the image of the person being discussed by stacking their positive traits.

平日ははもちろん、週末も仕事をしている。
(He works on weekends, not to mention weekdays.)

Lastly, in educational contexts, teachers use it to explain concepts: 'Understanding the grammar is a given, but you must also practice speaking.' It sets the expectation for the student while pointing towards the next necessary step. Whether it's a TV host introducing a guest or a friend describing a new cafe, 'wa mochiron' is the go-to phrase for expanding a statement beyond the obvious.

While 〜はもちろん is a relatively straightforward structure, there are several common pitfalls that learners often encounter. The most frequent error involves the omission of the second particle. Because the English translation 'not to mention' doesn't require a specific particle on the second noun, learners often forget to add も (mo), さえ (sae), or まで (made) to the second element. A sentence like 'A wa mochiron B desu' sounds incomplete and jarring to a native speaker.

Mistake 1: Missing 'Mo'
Incorrect: 寿司はもちろん、天ぷら好きです。
Correct: 寿司はもちろん、天ぷらも好きです。
Mistake 2: Incorrect Word Order
Putting the 'surprising' item first. The 'obvious' item must come before 'wa mochiron.'
Mistake 3: Direct Verb Attachment
Incorrect: 食べるはもちろん...
Correct: 食べるのはもちろん...

❌ 彼は日本語はもちろん、フランス語話せます。
✅ 彼は日本語はもちろん、フランス語も話せます。

Another common mistake is the misalignment of the 'obviousness' scale. As mentioned in the usage section, the first item (A) must be more expected or common than the second item (B). If you say, 'He can speak Swahili, not to mention English,' it sounds strange unless you are in a context where Swahili is more common than English. Usually, you would say, 'He can speak English (obvious), not to mention Swahili (less common/more impressive).' Reversing this logic makes the speaker sound confused about social norms or the topic at hand.

Learners also sometimes confuse 〜はもちろん with 〜ばかりか (bakari ka). While they are similar, 'bakari ka' often carries a stronger nuance of 'not only... but even...' and is frequently used for negative or surprising escalations. 'Wa mochiron' is more neutral and focuses on the 'obviousness' of the first point. Using 'wa mochiron' for something that isn't actually obvious can come across as sarcastic or arrogant, so be careful with your choice of the first noun.

❌ 漢字はもちろん、ひらがなも書けません。
(Wait, hiragana is easier than kanji! This order is backwards.)
✅ ひらがなはもちろん、漢字も書けません。

Finally, watch out for overuse. While it's a great phrase, using it in every sentence can make your Japanese sound repetitive and overly dramatic. It is an emphatic structure, so save it for points you actually want to emphasize. In simple lists, a plain 'A to B' or 'A ya B' is often more appropriate.

Japanese has several ways to express the idea of 'not only X but also Y.' Understanding the subtle differences between 〜はもちろん and its synonyms will greatly improve your expressive range. The most direct formal alternative is 〜はもとより (wa moto yori). This is essentially the same meaning but is used almost exclusively in written documents, formal speeches, or very polite business contexts. If you use 'wa moto yori' in a casual chat with friends, it will sound like you are reading from a textbook.

〜ばかりか (bakari ka)
Focuses on the 'unexpectedness' or 'extent' of the addition. Often used for negative surprises.
〜のみならず (nomi narazu)
A formal, written version of 'not only.' Very common in news and academic papers.
〜に限らず (ni kagirazu)
Means 'not limited to.' It implies a broader category without necessarily emphasizing the 'obviousness' of the first item.

この本は子供に限らず、大人も読んでいる。
(This book is read not just by children, but by adults too. - Focus on the range.)

Another similar structure is 〜どころか (dokoro ka). However, 'dokoro ka' is much stronger and often used to correct a misconception or show a massive gap between expectation and reality. For example, 'Forget being good at Japanese, I can't even say hello!' (Nihongo ga jouzu dokoro ka, aisatsu mo dekimasen). While 'wa mochiron' builds *up* from a positive or neutral base, 'dokoro ka' often highlights a failure to even reach the base level.

Then there is 〜に加えて (ni kuwaete), which simply means 'in addition to.' It is more factual and less rhetorical than 'wa mochiron.' It doesn't carry the nuance that the first item is 'obvious' or 'a given'; it just treats both items as part of a list. If you want to be neutral, use 'ni kuwaete.' If you want to be emphatic, use 'wa mochiron.'

英語のみならず、他の言語も学ぶべきだ。
(One should learn not only English but other languages as well. - Formal/Academic.)

In summary, choose 〜はもちろん when you want to emphasize a 'baseline' of truth and then expand upon it. It is the most common and versatile choice for daily life and general communication, striking a perfect balance between clarity and emphasis.

वाक्य संरचनाएँ

इसे कैसे इस्तेमाल करें

formality

Suitable for most situations except the most formal academic/legal writing where 'wa moto yori' is better.

completeness

The sentence usually feels unfinished if the second part (the 'mo' part) is omitted.

positive negative

Can be used for both positive and negative attributes, as long as the 'obviousness' scale is correct.

सामान्य गलतियाँ
  • Sushi wa mochiron, tempura suki desu.

    Missing the 'mo' particle in the second clause.

  • Kanji wa mochiron, hiragana mo dekimasen.

    The order is wrong; hiragana is easier/more obvious than kanji.

  • Taberu wa mochiron...

    Verbs must be nominalized before 'wa mochiron'.

  • Kirei wa mochiron...

    Na-adjectives need 'na no' to be nominalized.

  • A wa mochiron, B.

    The sentence is grammatically incomplete without the second particle and a predicate.

सुझाव

The 'Mo' Requirement

Always check if you have a 'mo' (or similar particle) in the second half of your sentence. It's the most common mistake for learners.

Logical Order

Ensure the first item is more 'obvious' than the second. Reversing them makes the sentence sound illogical.

Nominalization

Remember to use 'no' or 'koto' when connecting to verbs. 'Hashiru wa mochiron' is wrong; 'Hashiru no wa mochiron' is right.

Emphasis

Slightly stress 'mochiron' to help your listener follow the structure of your argument.

Formal Alternative

Learn 'wa moto yori' for formal writing to sound more sophisticated.

Predictive Listening

Use 'wa mochiron' as a cue that the speaker is about to provide more information.

Shared Knowledge

Use this phrase to show you understand what is considered 'standard' in Japanese society.

Compare Synonyms

Periodically review the difference between 'wa mochiron,' 'bakari ka,' and 'dokoro ka' to avoid confusion.

Enthusiasm

Use it in recommendations to show you are impressed by more than just the basics.

Daily Lists

Try describing your daily routine using this: 'Morning is busy, not to mention the afternoon!'

याद करें

शब्द की उत्पत्ति

Originates from the idea that a topic is so clear that no argument or discussion is necessary. It transitioned from a standalone adverb ('Of course') to a grammatical particle-like phrase ('wa mochiron') to connect nouns.

सांस्कृतिक संदर्भ

Can be used to downplay one's own obvious achievements while highlighting others.

Often used in hospitality to describe services: 'Comfort is a given, but our food is also local.'

Generally neutral to polite. In very formal situations, 'wa moto yori' is preferred.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

10 सवाल

Yes, but you must nominalize the verb first using 'no' or 'koto.' For example: 'Taberu no wa mochiron...' (Eating is a given...).

'Wa mochiron no koto' is a slightly more emphatic and formal version of the same expression. They are interchangeable in most contexts.
