Hi, I question whether the definitions "cause; reason" are logically correct. According to that, the example sentence, あなたの頭痛は過労のせいだ, ought to mean "your headache is the cause of / reason for overwork", which is the exact opposite of what it actually does mean. |

I agree that having のせいで would be useful. |

"せい" is a fairly common reading. As far as I can see, this particular "せい" seems to be used in an expression in the form of "のせいで". This form picks up many Google hits. Your [A] link gives many examples, but of particular interest is this entry: ～のせいで , meaning: all along of; along of; at the hands of; because of; courtesy of; due to; owing to. The other sentence examples seem to be based upon this.
Your combined dictionary gives the following:-
のせいで（人）には～する以外選択の余地がなくなる 【？】 leave someone no choice but to; WI4
のせいで（人）の生理が遅れる 【？】 cause someone's period to be late; WI4
のせいで（人）は～したいほどだ 【？】 almost make someone want; WI4
のせいで（人）は危うく死ぬところだ 【？】 almost cost someone's life; WI4
のせいで（人）は胸中穏やかでない 【？】 stir up someone's emotions; WI4
のせいでほおが火照った感じがする 【のせいでほおがほてったかんじがする】 fell flushed from; WI3
The text which I was reading was this: "あらしのせいで" [in context, "caused by the storm"].
When I searched for "せい", it was not much help, unless I knew the answer before searching.
When I searched the Glossing, I got the following:-
あらしのせいで。
のせいで (exp) because of; caused by; KD
Strangely it did not give any help on "あらし" which is in the main dictionary in two forms, but it did give "のせいで", which was a good fit for my text. However, when I tried to locate "のせいで" in the main dictionary, I could not find anything.
I am hoping that I am not wasting your time here, but I wondered if this main entry could be expanded to include the expression "のせいで" so that the context of "cause" is made clear by the total expression; when such a common reading of "せい" crops up. |
