kanozyo ha isoide ite koohii wo kobosityatta keredo, sorehodo kinisite inakatta.

は marks 彼女 as the topic of the sentence. It sets up her as the person we are talking about.

So the sentence is framed as:

• As for her...

This does not necessarily mean strong contrast, but it can sometimes carry a slight sense of speaking about her in particular.

If you used が instead, the sentence would feel a bit more like you are identifying her as the subject in a more direct or specific way.

急いでいて comes from 急いでいる, which means to be hurrying / to be in a hurry.

The て-form + いて here links to the next part of the sentence and gives background or a reason/circumstance:

• being in a hurry, ...
• since she was in a hurry, ...

So 彼女は急いでいてコーヒーをこぼしちゃった means something like:

• She was in a hurry and spilled her coffee
• or more naturally, Because she was in a hurry, she spilled her coffee

Both can connect ideas, but they are not exactly the same.

• 急いで = the て-form of 急ぐ; it can mean hurrying and linking to the next action
• 急いでいて = from 急いでいる, which emphasizes the ongoing state of being in a hurry

So 急いでいて focuses more on her condition at that time:

• she was in a hurried state

That makes it sound very natural before something accidental like spilling coffee.

The core verb is こぼす, meaning to spill.

So:

• コーヒーをこぼした = spilled coffee

But here we have:

• こぼしちゃった

This is a casual contraction of:

• こぼしてしまった

So grammatically it is:

• こぼす → こぼしてしまった → こぼしちゃった

This often adds a nuance like:

• it happened unintentionally
• it was unfortunate
• it is viewed as a completed event

So こぼしちゃった often feels like:

• ended up spilling
• accidentally spilled

〜ちゃった is the casual spoken form of 〜てしまった.

In many cases, 〜てしまった can suggest:

1. completion — the action is fully done
2. regret / inconvenience / accident — something happened and it was not ideal

In this sentence, the second nuance is especially important. Spilling coffee is usually accidental, so こぼしちゃった sounds very natural.

Compare:

• こぼした = spilled
• こぼしちゃった = accidentally spilled / ended up spilling

を marks the direct object of the verb.

Here, the verb is こぼす (to spill), and the thing being spilled is coffee, so:

• コーヒーをこぼす = to spill coffee

This is a very standard object marker use.

けれど means but / although / though.

It connects the first part and the second part:

• she spilled her coffee, but she did not care that much

Compared with でも or しかし, けれど is often softer and more natural inside everyday sentences.

It can also feel a little less blunt than simply saying but in English.

それほど means to that extent or that much.

It is very often used with a negative expression, as in this sentence:

• それほど気にしていなかった
• was not worrying about it that much
• didn’t care all that much

So here それほど softens the statement and means:

• not especially
• not very much
• not all that much

The dictionary form is 気にする, which means:

• to mind
• to care about
• to worry about

Then:

• 気にしている = is caring / is worrying / is minding it
• 気にしていない = is not caring / is not worrying
• 気にしていなかった = was not caring / was not worrying

This is a very common pattern:

• 〜している describes an ongoing mental state
• 〜していなかった says that state was not happening at that time

So それほど気にしていなかった means she was not particularly bothered by it.

Both are possible, but they feel a little different.

• 気にしなかった = she did not mind / did not care
• 気にしていなかった = she was not in a state of worrying about it

The 〜ている form often describes an ongoing state, especially with feelings, attitudes, and mental activity. So 気にしていなかった sounds natural when describing her attitude at that moment after spilling the coffee.

It can feel slightly more observational:

• she wasn’t bothered rather than
• she chose not to care

Yes. The whole sentence is talking about a past situation.

• 急いでいて gives background: she was in a hurry
• こぼしちゃった is clearly past
• 気にしていなかった is also past

Japanese often leaves the tense of a connected clause to be understood from context and the surrounding verbs. So even though 急いでいて does not itself end in a past form, in this sentence it clearly refers to a past situation.

It can often suggest both, depending on context.

Literally it is just linking:

• she was in a hurry, and...

But in real usage, it very often gives a sense of:

• because she was in a hurry...

Here, since being in a hurry naturally explains spilling coffee, many learners will understand it as a background cause:

• Because she was in a hurry, she spilled her coffee

So it is not a strict grammatical because, but the causal feeling is very natural.

This sentence is in the plain style, not the ます style.

You can see that in forms like:

• こぼしちゃった
• いなかった
• けれど

This style is common in:

• casual conversation
• narration
• written fiction
• informal explanation

A more polite version might look like:

• 彼女は急いでいて、コーヒーをこぼしてしまいましたけれど、それほど気にしていませんでした。

Yes, very easily.

Japanese often omits subjects when they are understood from context. So in a conversation or story, you could naturally say:

• 急いでいてコーヒーをこぼしちゃったけれど、それほど気にしていなかった。

If the listener already knows who you mean, that sounds completely normal.

Yes. It has a very common Japanese structure:

1. topic
2. background/circumstance
3. main event
4. contrast
5. reaction/attitude

So this sentence flows like:

• As for her, being in a hurry, she spilled her coffee, but she didn’t care that much.

This kind of structure is very typical in Japanese and often sounds more natural than trying to match English word-for-word.
