Questions & Answers about saikidousitara, waifai no setuzoku mo yoku natta.

Why is したら used after 再起動 here?

したら is the past short form + ら pattern, which often means when, after, or if something happens.

So:

  • 再起動する = to restart / reboot
  • 再起動した = restarted
  • 再起動したら = when I restarted it / after restarting it / if you restart it

In this sentence, the most natural feeling is after restarting it or when I restarted it.


What exactly does 再起動 mean?

再起動 means restart or reboot.

It is made from:

  • = again
  • 起動 = startup / booting up

As a noun, 再起動 means a restart.
With する, it becomes a verb:

  • 再起動する = to restart something / to reboot

So 再起動したら comes from 再起動する.


Why is ワイファイ written in katakana?

ワイファイ is just the Japanese katakana spelling of Wi-Fi.

Katakana is commonly used for:

  • foreign loanwords
  • brand-like terms
  • tech words

So ワイファイ is very normal in everyday Japanese. You may also sometimes see:

  • Wi-Fi
  • wifi
  • 無線LAN in more technical or formal contexts

But ワイファイ is common and natural in casual speech and writing.


What does 接続 mean, and why is it followed by ?

接続 means connection.

Here, ワイファイの接続 means:

  • the Wi-Fi connection
  • literally, Wi-Fi’s connection or connection of Wi-Fi

The particle links nouns together. In English, we often translate it as:

  • of
  • 's
  • or just by turning it into a noun phrase like Wi-Fi connection

So:

  • ワイファイ = Wi-Fi
  • 接続 = connection
  • ワイファイの接続 = Wi-Fi connection

What is the role of in this sentence?

means also or too.

So 接続も suggests that the Wi-Fi connection also improved, probably in addition to something else that got better after the restart.

For example, the implied context might be:

  • the device got faster, and
  • the Wi-Fi connection also improved

Even if that earlier thing is not stated in this sentence, tells you there is some sense of also.


Why is it よく and not いい or よい?

This is because よく is the adverb form of いい / よい.

  • いい / よい = good
  • よく = well / better

Since なった comes from なる and means became, you need the adverb form before it:

  • よくなる = to get better / to improve

So:

  • 接続がよくなった = the connection got better

You cannot say よいなった here.


Why is なった used? What does it add?

なった is the past form of なる, which means to become.

So:

  • よくなる = to become good / to improve
  • よくなった = became better / improved

This shows a change of state. The connection was one way before, and after the restart, it became better.


Is there an omitted subject or object in this sentence?

Yes. Japanese often leaves out things that are understood from context.

In 再起動したら、ワイファイの接続もよくなった。, the sentence does not explicitly say:

  • what was restarted
  • whose Wi-Fi connection it is
  • who did the restarting

From context, it might mean something like:

  • After I restarted my phone, the Wi-Fi connection also improved.
  • After restarting the router, the Wi-Fi connection also got better.

Japanese often sounds natural this way when the context is clear.


Why is there no after 接続?

You might expect 接続がよくなった, and that would be perfectly natural.

Here, 接続もよくなった uses instead of . In many cases, replaces , , or depending on the sentence.

So:

  • 接続がよくなった = the connection improved
  • 接続もよくなった = the connection also improved

The key difference is that adds the meaning of also.


Does したら mean if or when here?

Grammatically, たら can mean either if or when/after, depending on context.

In this sentence, the most natural interpretation is when/after because it sounds like the speaker is describing a real result that happened:

  • After restarting it, the Wi-Fi connection also improved.

If it were advice, it could sound more like if:

  • 再起動したらよくなるよ。
  • If you restart it, it’ll get better.

So たら is flexible, and context decides the best translation.


Are the spaces in the sentence normal Japanese writing?

No. The spaces here are probably just added for readability for learners.

Normal Japanese would usually be written like this:

再起動したら、ワイファイの接続もよくなった。

Japanese normally does not use spaces between words the way English does.

How do verb conjugations work in Japanese?
Japanese verbs conjugate based on tense, politeness, and mood. For example, the polite present form adds ‑ます to the verb stem, while the past tense uses ‑ました. Unlike English, Japanese verbs don't change based on the subject — the same form works for "I", "you", and "they".
