Already or anymore with もう

Published

ふりがな:

もう can be used to express when something is already the case, or will not be the case again.

Consider this famous line from Fist of the North Star:

  • (まえ)もう()んでいる。
  • You are already dead.

When used with negative form verbs, もう means anymore. Example:

  • もう()かない
  • I won't go anymore.

もう is often contrasted with まだ. See the notes on まだ.
