Always

معنی

Used to indicate that something happens all the time or continuously.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The French often use 'toujours' to express a sense of 'déjà vu' or weariness with bureaucracy, as in 'C'est toujours la même administration.' In Quebec, 'toujours' is frequently used in the phrase 'Toujours ben' (meaning 'anyway' or 'at least'). In some West African French dialects, 'toujours' can be used for emphasis at the end of a sentence to mean 'definitely' or 'really.' The concept of 'Toujours' is central to French chivalry and romantic literature, representing a love that transcends time.

💡

The 'Still' Trick

If you can replace 'still' with 'always' in English and it mostly makes sense, use 'toujours' in French.

⚠️

Placement

Never put 'toujours' before the verb in a simple sentence. It's 'Je suis toujours,' not 'Je toujours suis.'
