À propos de 折には

When the noun 折(おり) 'fold' or 'pleat' is used adverbially with the case marking particle に, it indicates a time which may be used as an opportunity to do something. It is often translated as 'on the occasion of (A)', or 'when the chance of (A) comes up'. It is an expression that is primarily used as a formal, positive alternative for 時(とき)に, but there are times that it may indicate something negative.

折(おり)に may be seen after any structure that could connect to a noun, but will primarily appear after verbs in their standard forms, or nouns followed by の.

Additionally, 折(おり)に may occasionally appear as 折(おり)には, but the additional は is often omitted.

In most cases, 折(おり)に will be used to indicate things that happen 'from time to time', rather than one off events.

Caution

折(おり)に appears in several common expressions that each have a slightly different meaning.

  • 折(おり)に触(ふれ)れて - On the occasion of (A), always (B).
  • 折(おり)があれば - If there is the chance of (A), (B).
  • 折(おり)を見(み)て - When the conditions are good for (A).
  • 折(おり)も折(おり) - At the exact moment of (A).

        According to DoAJG p507, 際 is acceptable when you cannot say that you are “taking advantage of a good occasion” and therefore 折 is not acceptable.
        For example:

        卒業の｛際・折｝に彼女に振られた。

        It would be nice for Bunpro to help distinguish those.

        Bunpro article says:

        In most cases, 折()に will be used to indicate things that happen ‘from time to time’, rather than one off events.

        But is this really true, and if it is, what is the alternative for one off events? Or is this just trying to convey that once-in-a-lifetime events happen less frequently than other occasions.

        Bunpro’s example sentences do include one-off events such as graduation, meeting a famous author, first trip to Paris.

        That’s quite a confusing case.
        Online search gives pretty much 0 results for both お暇な折に and お暇の折に. Either search doesn’t pick examples up, or people don’t actually use the word ひま when sending mails to superiors?
        JP-JP dictionary lists ひま as a noun, but JMdict lists it as both noun and na-adjective.
        hinative has both people saying 暇な時間 and 暇の時間 are both valid, but な is more popular lately, and people saying の is no good.
