Ima kara

[philupthetank86]

What does it mean when you put kara in front of a noun? in the beginning of a sentence, like ima kara video o miru.

Konnichiwa philupthetank86-san!

Usually, "-kara" means the starting point of time and space.

"ima kara video o miru" means the starting point of time and is "I watch a video from now(or just now?)".
"Watashi ha Nihon kara Kita" means the starting point of space and is "I came from Japan".

But sometimes "-kara" has other meaning, "standard of value", "cause", "reason" and "material".
