Learn Japanese: Yatto やっと

from Learn Japanese w/ Manga Sensei · host LaunchPod Media

Today's awesome grammar point it やっと (yatto) is used to express that what the subject wanted has “finally” been achieved, or that it was just “barely” possible for the subject to do. This can work in a few ways, for instance: It is hard work to get into college, it is also hard work to wait for summer break. When やっと is used, the speaker or subject has a degree of ownership over the action that has been achieved, there is a certain level of work/struggle to recognize a result. In English, it usually shows up as “finally” or “barely”. The phrase used in example sentence 3 is somewhat of an idiomatic usage that means “after all I could do” or “at long last”.
