Traducción y Significado de: 今更 - imasara

Explicación y Etimología - (今更) imasara

The Japanese word 今更 (imasara) is composed of the kanjis 今 (IMA), which means "now" or "today", and 更 (Sara), which means "once again" or "again". Together they form an expression that can be translated as "too late" or "already". The etymology of the word dates back to the Heian period (794-1185), when the expression was used to refer to something that had already been done or said, but now it was too late to change or correct. Over time, the expression has been used in broader contexts, as to indicate that something is no longer relevant or no longer sense. Nowadays, 今更 is often used in informal conversations to express frustration or disappointment with someone who is coming late or trying to do something that is no longer possible. It can also be used to indicate that someone is late to realize something obvious or trying to remedy a situation that has passed.
