Nuance Contrast & Social Differences

In Japanese, both いつも and 結婚する are often translated to English but have distinct usages. いつも (いつも (itsumo)) represents "always, usually, habitually" (Level: N5) and typically represents Adverb of frequency. Indicates something happens all the time or habitually without exception.. On the other hand, 結婚する (けっこんする (kekkon suru)) translates to "to marry, to get married" (Level: N4) and is used for A する-verb. Often used with the particle 「と」 to indicate who one marries.. Mixing these up can sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers!
