J-WOTD: 案の定

あんのじょう (annojyou)

* “J-WOTD” = “Japanese Word of the Day”

“As anticipated”, “as expected”, “sure enough”, “to noone’s surprise” etc etc..
案の定の結果
foregone conclusion
Example sentence: ご婦人がHDDを買いに来た。店を出る直前、手が滑って「スコーン!」とHDDが床へ落下。しかしHDDの弱さを知らないご婦人は、何事もなかったように拾って帰路へ。案の定、数日後に「動かない」と来店。

    I wish I found this site earlier; 案の定 was on this year’s Japan Language Proficiency Test! Maybe this is where they get their ideas…

    Chris, that is of course very Annojo… or as young Horiemon would say: Sotei-nai.
