使い分け解説:
- いつも: Adverb of frequency. Indicates something happens all the time or habitually without exception. (例: 私はいつも7時に起きます。)
- 将来: Refers to the near or distant future of a person or society. Contrast with 未来 (mirai, which is broader/cosmic). ⚠️ Haruka's Voice Column: 'Your dream for the future? ...Whether I'm in that future or not... W-Wait! Don't take it the wrong way! I just mean whether you'll remain my subordinate or not! Gosh, you're dense!' / 【ハルカ部長のワンポイント指導】『あんたの将来の夢は？...その将来設計に、私がいるかどうか...って、そ、そういう意味じゃないわよ！私の優秀な部下として残るかどうかってこと！もう、バカ！』
