Time to Work

These are all time-related expressions. I can't post them directly on the blog because they have tabbing and other formatting problems that this blog program can't deal with, so download the PDF here.

Learn the kanji within -- they are all very commonly-used kanji that form parts of many other words.

And the expressions themselves are classified as Red-level -- meaning absolutely essential to remember and to know how to use.

Until I come up with a better way to classify stuff we'll go with "Red-level" all the way down to "Green-level," in which Red is top priority to remember and practice, and Green being stuff that you should be familiar with but no need to remember the kanji.

Learn these, learn how to use them, and learn their kanji as well. RED-LEVEL.

Here are the romaji versions and definitions.

kyū ni                              suddenly, out of the blue
totsuzen                           unexpectedly, suddenly
toriaezu                            for now, for the time being, meanwhile
genzai                              at the moment, currently
konogoro                         lately, these days
kono mae                         the last time, last time, the time before
sore kara                           after that, from then on
kore kara                          from now on, starting now
sono ato                            after that (happens, happened)
sono mae                          before that (happens, happened)
kodomo no koro               when I was a kid
ima no tokoro                    at the moment, right now
mukashi                            back then, a long time ago
dōji ni                                at the same time
jikan dōri                           right on time, exactly on time
mō chotto ato de                in a little bit, soon, soon after
sono toki (wa)                    at that time
