ピザが好きなので、（ピザを）食べた。

X = I ate pizzaピザを食べた
Y = I was in Italyイタリアにいた
Because X, Y: Because I was in Italy, I ate pizza.

You're switching around X and Y.


X = I ate pizzaピザを食べた
Y = I was in Italyイタリアにいた
Because X, Y: Because I ate pizza, I was in Italy???? :S TeleportPizza!!

Besides that, yeah.

Yeah, you're right. I mislabeled X and Y. :/

thanks for the informative reply again kyle, and jesselt for the link to tae kim's site

in that website, tae kim mentioned that なので/ので implicitly states that the first part is the "reason" whereas だから/から explicitly states that the first part is the "reason"

also i would like to ask if in normal conversation (native japanese) is the implicitness of ので (as mentioned by tae kim) captured , or is ので merely used whenever the conversation is formal?

Edit: This may have been wrong.

Instead use から
i take it.

This link explains it better than I, and explains some other differences between the two: What is the difference between kara and node?
