Traducción y Significado de: 今にも - imanimo

Explicación y Etimología - (今にも) imanimo

The Japanese word "今にも" consists of two kanjis: "今" which means "now" and "にも" which can be translated as "even now". Together they form an expression that means "anytime", "immediately" or "almost". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the expression "prem ni" was used to indicate that something was about to happen. Over time, the expression was shortened to "imaging" and, later, to "ima ni mo". Nowadays, "prem ni" is a common expression in the Japanese language, used to indicate that something can happen at any time or that something is imminent. It is often used in situations of danger or urgency, such as "今にもそうなそうな建物" (ima ni kuzuresou in tatemony), which means "a building that seems to collapse at any time."
