Japanese Language 「Adjectives and Adverbs」 「Adverbs Expressing Time」 「Part 19」 「Yagate・やがて」 "soon," "before long," "at (long) last," "in the end" Yagate is used to express the speaker's expectation that an action or even will eventually occur (example 1, 2). When the final verb of the sentence is in the past tense, it means "at (long) last" or "in the end"(example 3). Yagate is more formal than sono uchi (ni) and can express a stronger sense of cause and effect. Examples: 我が国の経済はやがて回復するだろう。 Wagakuni no keizai wa yagate kaifuku suru darō. The economy of our country will probably recover before long. やがて開幕になりますから、お急ぎください。 Yagate kaimaku ni narimasu kara, o-isogi kudasai. The curtains will soon rise, so please hurry. やがて事件は解決した。 Yagate jiken wa kaiketsu shita. At last the case was solved. Hope this helps! じゃまたね! °˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °こゆうきあいはら°˖ ✧◝(○ ヮ ○)◜✧˖ °
