Difference between やっと、かなり、必ず、絶対に

By Can (original WordPress byline: dimitri2012) ·

みなさん、

おはようございます。It`s the last day of 2016. Before i start, let me wish all of you a happy and blessed 2017 ahead.

Like to share the difference between やっと、かなり、必ず、絶対に today.

やっと: 望んでいたこと、待っていたことが実現したときの安堵の気持ちを表す。 (Express feelings of relief when things that you wished for/waited for come into realization)

かなり: 予想をはるかに上回る程度 (Express expectations are exceeded)

必ず: Difference between 必ず and ぜひ:

ぜひ: 望む気持ち、勧める気持ちを強めるときに使います。 (When emphasizing on things you wish/recommend)

必ず:義務感を強める時に使います。 (When emphasizing sense of obligation)

絶対に: 主に否定する時に使います。 (Mainly use in negative sentences)

Will revise the post later on to add more info. Meanwhile, おやすみなさい。
