Questions & Answers about pasokon no ugoki ga osokatta node, ichido saikidoushita.

What is the basic structure of this sentence?

It has two parts:

• パソコンの動きが遅かったので = because the computer was running slowly / because the computer’s performance was slow
• 一度再起動した = I restarted it once

So the pattern is:

[reason] ので, [result/action]

Japanese often puts the reason first and the main action second.

Why is の used in パソコンの動き?

の connects nouns. Here it shows that 動き belongs to or relates to パソコン.

So:

• パソコン = computer
• 動き = movement, operation, performance
• パソコンの動き = the computer’s movement/operation/performance

In natural English, this often becomes something like the computer was slow or the computer was running slowly, even though Japanese uses the noun 動き.

Does 動き literally mean physical movement here?

Not necessarily. For machines, computers, apps, and software, 動き often means:

• how something runs
• responsiveness
• performance
• operation

So パソコンの動きが遅い does not usually mean the computer is physically moving slowly. It means the computer is sluggish or slow to respond.
