Questions & Answers about kono suupu wa oishii desu kara, okawarishite mo ii desu ka.

Why is は used after スープ?

は marks スープ as the topic of the sentence.

So このスープは means something like:

• as for this soup
• this soup, ...

In English, we often just say This soup is delicious, but Japanese often separates the topic from the rest of the comment.

So:

• このスープはおいしいです = This soup is delicious

---

What does から mean here?

から means because or so, giving a reason.

In this sentence:

• このスープはおいしいですから = Because this soup is delicious / This soup is delicious, so...

It connects the first idea to the request that follows.

A learner should notice that Japanese often puts the reason first, then the main point:

• [reason] から、[result/request]

So the structure is:

• This soup is delicious, so may I have another helping?
