Detailed Grammar notes:
Processing keyword: ~てこそ (〜te koso)
The grammar point ~てこそ (〜te koso) is an expressive way to emphasize that only by doing a certain action or only when a particular condition is met can a desired result or state be achieved. It's often translated as "only when" or "now that".
Verb (て-form) | + こそ |
---|---|
~て | こそ |
[Verb in て-form] + こそ
Both ~てこそ and 〜てはじめて can be translated as "only when" or "not until". However:
In Japanese culture, emphasis is often placed on effort, humility, and the importance of experience. The use of ~てこそ reflects the idea that certain understandings or achievements are only attainable through specific experiences or actions.
