原因和缘故

Hi, please what's the difference between 原因和缘故?

Actually, no big difference between these two words. However a native speaker will use the 原因 more often . 緣故 kind like a classical word.

When should we use 亲身and亲自.

Thanks in advance.

親自 like do things by yourself.

For example：I did chores by my own. = 我親自做家事 * " by my own " equal to 親自 *

親身 like you emphasized you experienced something by yourself.

For example：I experienced how terrifying when my mom flew into rage.=我親身體驗過我媽憤怒的時後有多可怕。

By the way, I'm a student and want to improve my English. We might can help each other !😊

Let's see.

原因 and 缘故 both mean the direct reason when some things happen,缘故 emphasizes the reason,but 原因 emphasizes the relationship between the reason and the thing.Similar meaning.

亲身 and 亲自both mean doing something yourself,亲身 emphasizes the experiences that you get by yourself,亲自 emphasizes the status(or identity).So when a person of high status or influencer do something himself,use 亲自 more natural.

I'm a student from China,so my English is not very well.Hope my words do help.

原因用的非常多比较常见，通常解释一个问题，一个现象，说明一个情况；缘故：通常描述一个故事的前因后果，比较偏故事性，需要看语境，用原因就对了。亲身比较走心，带有强烈的个人感情；亲自主观主动去了任何一个事情。
