À propos de さすが

さすが, also often appearing in the kanji form 流石(さすが), is an adverb that indicates the speaker's feeling of being impressed that something has lived up to its reputation, or what was expected of it. In English, this comes across as 'as expected of (A)', or 'that is just like (A)'.

As 流石(さすが) is an adverb, it may appear at the beginning of phrases (either with or without に), or directly preceded a noun when の is used.

Caution

Although uncommon, さすが may occasionally have a negative connotation. In these cases, it is similar to 'even' in English. This use of さすが implies that 'as one had though, even (A) couldn't (B)', and similar nuances.

Fun-fact

The kanji structure of 流石(さすが) is a type of kanji use known as 借字(しゃくじ) in Japanese. This basically means 'borrowed symbol', and indicates that the meaning of the kanji is not related to the meaning of the word at all.
