あくまでも + Noun/Verb[/vc_column_text][dfd_spacer screen_wide_spacer_size=”60″ screen_normal_resolution=”1024″ screen_tablet_resolution=”800″ screen_mobile_resolution=”480″][/vc_column_inner][/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]Notes :
あくまでも can modify verbs, adjectives or nouns followed by a copula.
あくまでも literally means “as much as one gets tired of,” but the common meaning in today’s use is “to the utmost extent.” The specific meanings vary depending on the context, as seen in the examples.
The meanings of あくまでも can be roughly grouped into 4 categories. (some sentence can have more than one interpretation.)
- “to the end; persistenly; always”
- “strictly; just”
- “under any cirmustance; absolutely”
- “completely; ultimately”
When あくまでも means “to the end,” it is used only in contexts where someone does something despite the fact that the situation is against him/her.
The final mo sometimes drops; but the meaning or nuance does not change.
