About からといって
からといって is a grammar pattern in Japanese comprised of the conjunction particle から 'from', と, and the て-form of the う-Verb 言う 'to say'. It is usually translated to 'just because (A)', and will indicate that the underlying reason of (A) does not necessarily mean that (B) is also true, or that (B) is not good.
As this grammar structure often includes a negative statement in the (B) part of the sentence, the more literal translation is closer to 'from saying that (A), doesn't mean (B)'. This simply focuses the nuance on that (A) does not equal (B), despite what one may think.
からといって may appear after verbs and い-Adjectives, or な-Adjectives and nouns that are followed by だ.
In most cases, からといって will be used for giving strong opinions, or for criticism of someone's actions or behavior.
- 日本に2年間住んでいたからとて、日本語が話せるとは限らない。Just because someone has lived in Japan for 2 years doesn't mean that they can speak Japanese.
-
暑いからって、そんなに休憩ばかりしていたら仕事が進まないだろ。If you keep taking so many breaks just because it's hot, you will never get your job done.
