What Does Mada Mada Mean In Japanese

Hi everyone!

Hi, i am Minky. Ns am earlier again! また来ましたよ= Mata kimashita yo.

Today’s lesson is around もう ( = mou ) & まだ ( = mada).

もう ( = mou) means “already / anymore” and also まだ ( = mada) way “not however / still”

For example you simply saw your watch and also checked the time.

If friend think the is late and time has passed without realizing it, you deserve to say:

A: もうこんな時間だ。

= Mou konna jikan da.

= Look in ~ the time! (It’s already this late.)

and if girlfriend think that is quiet early, girlfriend say

B : まだこんな時間だ。

= Mada konna jikan da.

= the is still early.

C: もう半分ない。

= Mou hanbun nai.

= half is already gone.

(→The glass is half empty)

D: まだ半分ある。

= Mada hanbun aru.

= fifty percent is still left.

(→The glass is still half full)
