When you want to express something that happens regularly, or every single time an event occurs, use 每次 (měi cì). Think of it as a direct equivalent to "every time" or "each time" in English. It emphasizes the consistent repetition of an action or situation. You'll often see it at the beginning of a clause, setting the stage for what happens repeatedly.
Dato curioso
The character “每” (měi) originally depicted a mother with hairpins, symbolizing 'every' woman or 'each' individual, extending to the meaning of 'every' or 'each' generally. “次” (cì) originally meant 'to stop and rest' or 'lodge', and over time evolved to mean 'order', 'sequence', and then 'time' or 'occurrence'.
