Structure

[noun] + とあって [na-adj] + とあって [verb (plain)] + とあって [i-adj] + とあって

Description

とあって gives a special circumstance as the reason for what follows: "since it's…", "as it was…". The circumstance is out of the ordinary – a holiday, a first time, a famous name – and the main clause is what you would expect to happen because of it. A noun or a な-adjective takes とあって directly; a verb or an い-adjective is in the plain form.

、。

、。

、。

What follows とあって

The main clause describes a situation you can observe: crowds, sold-out tickets, someone's mood. It is not the speaker's own decision, request or plan. An everyday reason does not take とあって either.
