How to say "As" in Japanese

When translating "as" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between できるだけ and 相変わらず. 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, 相変わらず (あいかわらず (aikawarazu)) maps to "as ever, as usual, still" (Syllabus Level: N3) and represents Used when something or someone remains unchanged despite the passage of time or circumstances. It can be positive or negative.. A literal translation of "as" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
