★もう already: with affirmative sentences

<div class='writeup-body'>In English, もう is regularly translated to 'already', or 'anymore', depending on if it is used in a positive-past (already), or negative (anymore) sentence. The reason that Japanese only requires one word for both of these nuances is due to もう literally meaning 'something has unexpectedly ended'.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>朝（あさ）ごはんはもう食（た）べた。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I already ate breakfast. (Although you probably didn't expect it, I have already eaten breakfast)</div></li><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>もうお金（かね）がない。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>I don't have any more money. (Although you probably didn't expect it, I have no money)</div></li></ul>From these sentences we can see that もう can be translated in each case as the following. (Past) - Although expected to not be done, it is. 'Already', in English. (Negative) - Although expected to still be going, it isn't. 'Anymore', in English. This is the opposite of まだ, which means 'something is unexpectedly still going'. もう may also be used to ask questions. This is when the speaker thinks that something 'might' have ended, but wants to confirm.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>もうデザートを食（た）べた？</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Did you already eat dessert?</div></li></ul><div class='writeup-funfact'><div class='funfact-header'>Fun Fact</div>もう is often used simply as an expression of exasperation (giving up on arguing), to show that someone has already reached the point of not wanting to continue.<ul class='writeup-examples--holder'><li class='writeup-example'><div class='writeup-example--japanese'>あ～もう無理（むり）。</div><div class='writeup-example--english'>Ugh, that's enough.
