Not only that in Japanese 🇯🇵

そればかりか info.

Tips to Remember:
• Associate それ (that) with pointing to a specific fact, and remember that ばかりか introduces an additional fact—sort of like saying “not only that, but also…” in English.
• Visualize a scenario where you list a known fact and then add another surprise detail starting with そればかりか.

Explanations:
• そればかりか (sore bakari ka) adds extra information. It’s used similarly to “not only that…” or “moreover…” in English.
• It emphasizes that the subsequent statement is an unexpected or additional fact beyond the initial point.

Other Words with Similar Meanings:
• その上 (sono ue) – “on top of that” or “furthermore.”
• しかも (shikamo) – “moreover” or “indeed.”
• 加えて (kuwaete) – “in addition” or “plus.”

Alternate Meanings:
• Primarily a formal/conversational expression meaning “not only that.” There isn’t a widespread slang use of そればかりか.
