のみならず

のみならず is a formal expression used to say that something is true not only for the first item but also for something else. It often appears in written or formal Japanese and emphasizes breadth or inclusion, similar to 'not only... but also...' in English. It can connect to a following clause, noun, or phrase that expands the statement. It is commonly used in essays, newspapers, or official contexts to strengthen a point. Note: in everyday speech, people often use だけでなく or 〜もなど as equivalents, but のみならず carries a more literary or formal nuance. Examples show that what comes after のみならず may describe another attribute, action, or group in parallel with the first.
