事新しく (ことあたらしく) Japanese meaning | Kotomora
Meanings 1
adverb
anew ; again ; specially ; formally
Used when something is done again from scratch, with special care, or in a formal manner. Often implies a deliberate, fresh start rather than a simple repetition. The 'specially' and 'formally' nuances are less common and context-dependent.
彼かれ は 事こと 新あたら しく その 問もん 題だい を 取と り 上あ げ た 。
He brought up the issue anew, as if it were something special.
Similar words 改あらた めて 改めて also means 'anew' or 'again', but it emphasizes doing something at a different time or with renewed attention, while 事新しく often carries a nuance of making a fresh start or treating something as special.
新あら たに 新たに means 'newly' or 'afresh' and focuses on the newness of an action or state, whereas 事新しく can imply a formal or deliberate redoing.
Etymology Compound of 事 (こと, 'thing, matter') + 新しく (あたらしく, adverbial form of 新しい 'new'). The exact historical derivation is uncertain, but the combination yields the sense of doing something as if it were a new matter.
