Example Word

直ぐ: immediately. The Japanese adverb '直ぐ (すぐ)' means 'immediately' or 'right away'. It is used to indicate that something happens without delay or very soon after a certain point in time. This word can also imply physical proximity, meaning 'nearby' or 'close by', depending on the context. For example: I will come immediately「すぐ行きます」(すぐいきます). The station is nearby「駅はすぐそこです」(えきはすぐそこです). It's important to note that 'すぐ' can be used in both temporal and spatial contexts, making it a versatile adverb in Japanese.
