たびに (JLPT N3)

About たびに

度(たび)に is the adverbial form of the noun 度(たび), meaning 'time' (as in 'at the time of'). たびに is frequently paired with either verbs, or nouns, in order to show that something happens 'whenever (A)', or 'each time (A)'.

After nouns, the case marking particle の will be required before たびに.

Fun Fact

Like ごとに, たびに means 'every'. However, たびに is most often used to convey the nuance of するごとに 'every time doing'. Due to this, たびに will almost always be used to highlight some kind of action or event, rather than random amounts of time.

仕事(しごと)を休(やす)むたびに、雨(あめ)が降(ふ)って予定(よてい)が台無(だいな)しになる。(Natural Japanese, as たびに follows an action)

Every time I take a day off, it rains and messes up my plans.
2週間(しゅうかん)たびに、実家(じっか)に帰(かえ)る。(Unnatural Japanese, as たびに does not follow an action. 2週間(しゅうかん)経(た)つたびに would work here)

Every two weeks, I go to my parents house.
