# usually

adverb

«usually» in the English dictionary: everyday and in Jewish tradition — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

## Everyday

1. In most cases; most of the time: "I usually walk to school." [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/usually/#m1)
2. As normally happens: "The shop is usually open." [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/school/U/usually/#m2)

### In the lessons

In maths and science, "usually" means most of the time but not always; it is about frequency (always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never). In reading, it tells a habit. Phrases: as usual, more than usual.

### Examples

### Note

Spelled with two l's: "usually". It goes before the main verb ("I usually walk") but after "be" ("He is usually late"). Usually is not always: there are exceptions.

## In Jewish tradition

In maths and science, "usually" means most of the time but not always; it is about frequency (always, usually, often, sometimes, rarely, never). In reading, it tells a habit. Phrases: as usual, more than usual.

### Examples

- Body ; the word is GUP, usually applied to the animal material body, but here means '' one whole." (Sefer Yetzirah, Westcott 1893) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/U/usually/#x1)
- However, this is grammatically peculiar, as immot is usually only the construct plural of אֵם em 'mother', whose absolute plural is rather אִמָּהוֹת immahot. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/U/usually/#x2)
- Although Resh is usually thought to belong to the letters which cannot normally receive a dagesh, this was apparently not the case for these traditions. (Sefer Yetzirah, Sefaria community translation) [tree →](https://mova.elamur.ai/free/en/corpora/dictionaries/judaism/U/usually/#x3)

### Note

Spelled with two l's: "usually". It goes before the main verb ("I usually walk") but after "be" ("He is usually late"). Usually is not always: there are exceptions.
