How to say "As" in Japanese

When translating "as" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between できるだけ and やっぱり. In Japanese, できるだけ (できるだけ (dekirudake)) is typically associated with "as much as possible, as soon as possible" (Syllabus Level: N4) and represents Adverbial phrase. Expresses the desire or necessity to do something to the maximum extent or degree possible. Often combined with adverbs like 早く. On the other hand, やっぱり (やっぱり (yappari)) maps to "as expected, after all, just as I thought" (Syllabus Level: N4) and represents Casual form of やはり. Used to express that something turned out to be as one expected, or to reconfirm something. It can also mean 'after all' in the sense of making a final decision or preference.. A literal translation of "as" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
