Kokokara (ここから)
Meaning: From now on, From here
Romaji: Kokokara
Hiragana: ここから
Katakana: ココカラ
Kanji:/
from now on
Kokokara means “From here” in English. So, for example, if you say, “Let’s start from here” in English, it would be “Kokokara hajime masyou” in Japanese. Also, if you say, “I don’t know how to proceed from here” in English, it would be “Kokokara douyatte susumebaiika wakaranai” in Japanese.
For example:
・”ここからは凸凹が多いので、気を付けてくださいね。”(Kokokarawa dekobokoga ooinode kiwotsuketekudasaine)
“There are many bumps from here, so please be careful.”
What is the difference between Kokokara and Kokkara?
Kokokara and Kokkara have the same meaning. However, Kokkara is an informal way of saying it. From a Japanese point of view, Kokkara has a better rhythm, so my friends often use Kokkara.
For example:
・”じゃあこっから本気出すよ！”(Jaa kokkara honki dasuyo!)
“Then I’ll go all out from now on! !”
