Every morning, every day, every evening, every week

The words

How they differ

まい〜 = "every" + time unit. Drop them in before the verb — no に needed for these:

「まいにち にほんご を べんきょうします」(mainichi nihongo o benkyou shimasu)

「まいあさ コーヒー を のみます」(maiasa koohii o nomimasu)

They answer "how often?" for habits. Pair with Wave C verbs (いきます, たべます, のみます) and clock/day lessons for richer routines.

Related you'll meet later: まいげつ (every month), まいとし (every year) — not required here.

Routine stamp: morning · day · evening · week. まい = every, then あさ / にち / ばん / しゅう.

One line: まいあさ・まいにち・まいばん・まいしゅう.

Next: Reservations: よやく — booking a table, seat, or slot.
