How it's used

Carries a sense of inevitability or a looming outcome that cannot be avoided, often used when predicting a negative or significant consequence. It functions similarly to the English phrase "sooner or later" and is frequently paired with time-related expressions like 一日 to emphasize the eventual nature of the event.

Examples

If you act like this, you will inevitably regret it.

Common phrases

sooner or later; eventually one day

Common mistake

Avoid using it for positive or neutral outcomes, as it almost exclusively implies a sense of fate or an unavoidable, often undesirable, conclusion. It is not interchangeable with general future markers like 會, as it specifically highlights the long-term certainty of an event.
