How to say "As" in Japanese

When translating "as" into Japanese, you must choose carefully between やはり and できるだけ. In Japanese, やはり (やはり (yahari)) is typically associated with "as expected, after all, too, also" (Syllabus Level: N4) and represents Adverb. Implies that something is as one thought or expected. Also has a slightly more formal variant '矢張り'. On the other hand, できるだけ (できるだけ (dekirudake)) maps to "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. A literal translation of "as" can often sound unnatural to native Japanese speakers if mixed up!
