How to say "Always" in Japanese

When translating "always" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between いつも and 常に. In Japanese, いつも (いつも (itsumo)) is typically associated with "always, usually, habitually" (Syllabus Level: N5) and represents Adverb of frequency. Indicates something happens all the time or habitually without exception.. On the other hand, 常に (つねに (tsune ni)) maps to "always, constantly, usually" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Indicates something that happens without fail, all the time, or regularly. More formal than いつも. 何かがある状態を途切れることなく続ける様子や、いつも同じであることを表す。. A literal translation of "always" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
