날마다

30분마다
→ every thirty minutes

아침마다
→ each morning / every morning

사람마다
→ each person

Even though the particle 마다 can be used in every case, Koreans already have words to express repetition over time, which they use more naturally than 마다. These words use the prefix 매 which is translated into English in the same way as the particle 마다.

매일
→ each day / every day

매주
→ each week / every week

매월
→ each month / every month

매년
→ each year / every year

매 순간
→ each moment

Exercises

Traveling to South Korea can be an unforgettable experience. But when you don’t speak Korean, everything gets more complicated: ordering in a restaurant or café becomes stressful, you can’t understand signs or directions, asking for help in case of trouble is nearly impossible, and most importantly, you miss out on the very essence of a successful trip to Korea: connecting with the locals.

Since English - Korean machine translators can’t always be trusted (the two languages work in completely different ways), it’s essential to prepare yourself in advance to fully enjoy your trip to South Korea!
