Every Time -마다

Your coffee routine repeats every morning: 아침마다 커피를 마셔요. Attach 마다 to a time or other noun to mean “every” or “each.” The noun stays as it is; there is no verb ending to conjugate.

achimmada juseureul masyeoyo.

I drink juice every morning.

mogyoilmada undongeul haeyo.

I exercise every Thursday.

Hint · 힌트

에 한 번 counts occurrences: 일주일에 두 번 (“twice a week”) could land on any two days. 마다 means every single instance, no exceptions. 목요일마다 means every Thursday without fail, not an average of roughly once a week.

toyoilmada deungsaneul haeyo.

I go hiking every Saturday.

woryoilhago suyoilmada sueobeul deureoyo.

I attend classes every Monday and Wednesday.

jumalmada gohyange gayo.

I go to my hometown every weekend.

banghakmada yeohaengeul gayo.

I travel every school vacation.

Hint · 힌트

방학 specifically means a school or university break, a student’s vacation. 휴가 (from -려고 해요) is vacation from work. Mixing them up marks you as talking about the wrong kind of time off entirely.
