eventually, how to say this?


Recommended Posts

how would you say something like "he'll get married eventually." or "she'll be here sooner or later."

I was thinking about the words i've found through the dictionary like 必然, 遲早, 早晚

since i've never seen these used in context, i dont know how to use them. I am guessing "他早晚會結婚" "她早晚會來."

there is almost no difference between "迟早" 和 “早晚”, that means you can use “迟早” wherever “早晚” is used.

必然 means "must", "definitely", etc

Am I the only one who thinks that there should be a 的 if the phrase is at the end of a sentence?

For the marriage sentence, I think “他總是會結婚的" is also ok.

hmm a lot of choices and none of them are the ones i found in the dictionary. if i was to memorize just one or two choices, which would be the most common one found in spoken chinese?

终归? 終究?
