Tentang だんだん

だんだん is an adverb that is used to express the slight, but constant, progression of something. Originally, it comes from the kanji construction 段々(だんだん), which can be thought of as meaning 'step by step', 'stepwise', or even 'steadily'. だんだん is similar to ほとんど, in that it can modify the meaning of entire phrases, rather than just single words.

To use だんだん, simply put it before the phrase that you want to express as '(A) that is increasing steadily'.

While だんだん can take the particle , it is not required. In fact, is very often omitted from adverbs/onomatopoeic words (words that represent a sound or motion) in Japanese.

Caution

Initially, it can be easy to mix-up だんだん, with どんどん. どんどん is an onomatopoeic word that represents loud banging (like on a drum), so is used to express fast changes/progression. This is unlike だんだん, which expresses slower changes/progression.

        インタビューした学生:「折り紙は初めは難しくてできないと思ったけど、だんだん慣れてくる折れるようになりました。」
        Interviewed student: “Speaking of origami, at first I thought it was hard and I wouldn’t be able to do it, but I gradually got accustomed and reached a point where I could do it.”

        What is the と after 慣れてくる expressing in this statement?

        @deltacat3 This と is the conditional, “if・when” と from this lesson. It would probably be better to think of it as “once” in this sentence to make the phrase “once I got accustomed,” but it sounds a bit strange to say “once I gradually got accustomed” in English. I hope this helps!
