总是 (zǒng shì) is an adverb that means "always." It's used to describe actions or states that happen without exception or continually.
You place 总是 before the verb or adjective it modifies. For example, 你总是很忙 (nǐ zǒng shì hěn máng) means "You are always busy."
It's similar to 常常 (chángcháng) which means "often," but 总是 implies a higher degree of regularity, closer to 100% of the time.
Think of it as indicating a consistent habit or a permanent state.
When you're trying to say that something happens always in Chinese, you'll use 总是 (zǒng shì). It's a really common adverb.
Think of it as directly translating to "always" in English. For example, if you want to say "He always eats lunch at noon," you'd say "他总是中午吃午饭 (Tā zǒngshì zhōngwǔ chī wǔfàn)."
You can also use it to express a habit, like "I always drink coffee in the morning" which would be "我总是早上喝咖啡 (Wǒ zǒngshì zǎoshang hē kāfēi)."
It usually comes before the verb in a sentence. Don't overthink it—just drop it in where you'd say "always" in English.
