にほかならない

にほかならない is a strong, definitive way to say that something is exactly or utterly that thing. It emphasizes inevitability or essential nature, often used to express that there is no other possibility or explanation. It's commonly used in formal or written Japanese, and can connect to a statement in the predicate or be embedded in a larger sentence to underline that the described fact is the sole or most true explanation. Example sentences: - この結果は、彼女の努力の賜物にほかならない。 (This result is nothing but her effort.) - 彼がこの役に選ばれた理由は、経験の豊富さにほかならない。 (The reason he was chosen for this role is none other than his extensive experience.) - この選択は、私たちの判断の結論にほかならない。 (This choice is nothing other than the conclusion of our judgment.)
