ずっと + Phrase

「ずっと ①」の情報

The adverb ずっと has two primary meanings in Japanese. The first is that something keeps going in a constant state, without ever stopping/resting, and the second is to emphasize an amount of something. We will examine the first meaning in this lesson.

To use ずっと, add it to the beginning of the phrase that you want to highlight as being ongoing.

Alternatively, ずっと can be used after から, to express that something has been continuing 'ever since' some specific event/point in time.

Fun Fact

ずっと literally means that something is 'unwavering', or 'unfaltering'. Due to this, the statement that ずっと is attached to will always be perceived as being 'far more (A)', or 'to the maximum amount possible for (A)', regardless of whether it is highlighting a noun, verb, or an adjective.

        I don’t quite get how “since” is supposed to be the same as saying something’s been ongoing. I usually think of “since” as marking a starting point, not suggesting that some action just keeps on going. Thus, it feels a bit out of place… Can someone explain this?

        The key point for the ‘since’ meaning is ‘ever since’, implying that something has been ongoing constantly, with emphasis on not stopping at any point. Not just simply ‘since’ as ‘from the time of’.

        So realistically ずっと is the ‘ever’ in that translation, not the ‘since’.

        Makes sense. Thanks for the explanation!
