    Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

    Meaning

    • 「〜ごとに」marks something repeating at a measured interval: 「3か月ごとに、報告書を出す」= I submit a report every three months.
    • It works with time (1時間ごとに), places (駅ごとに) and things (家ごとに).
    • It also works with verbs: 「会うごとに」.

    Versus what you know

    • N4It resembles 「〜おきに」but differs: 「1時間ごとに」= every hour (1, 2, 3…), 「1時間おきに」= every other hour (1, 3, 5…).
    • N3Lesson 7's 「〜たびに」ties to events (会うたびに); ごとに ties to measured intervals.

    Examples (उदाहरणहरू)

    3か月ごとに、報告書を出す。

    さんかげつごとに、ほうこくしょをだす。

    I submit a report every three months.

    How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 3か月 is a measure of time → attach ごとに straight to it → it means 'every 3 months'.

    このバスは駅ごとに止まります。

    このバスはえきごとにとまります。

    This bus stops at every station.

    How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 駅 is a place → ごとに → every station.

    家ごとに、ごみの出し方が決まっている。

    いえごとに、ごみのだしかたがきまっている。

    Each household has its set way of putting out trash.

    How it is built (कसरी बन्यो) 家 is a thing → ごとに → each house, one by one.
