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
