Choosing the right word
So, let's say i try to translate "because" into japanese, and what i get is about 10 translations (0_o).
The question is, how should i choose the right one? Either those are sinonims or not? If there's something to read about that, or a good dictionary with word usage i wouldn't know how to thank you :)Japanese - english translation i could undestand. But english japanese is how we say "deep dark forest"

Answer

Could you give us exactly what you are seeing? I just did a quick google translate (which is really not a great source) and "because" gets ため、から、なぜなら、為、だって、なぜならば、だけに、etc... The reason that you got so many different translations is because these are used in different grammar structures. If you tried to translate a noun, you would probably get fewer translations. It's true that there are different words that mean the same thing though. Japanese has synonyms. Like any language, you just have to practice using them and figure out which word works best for a certain situation.

Answer

You have to learn them all, one by one. Japanese wasn't learned in a day, Sir. You have chosen a very difficult language to learn. If you try to learn all the different ways of saying "because" in one lesson, you will only get confused. Just take it step by step and be patient.
