occasionally; at times; from time to time
Literary or slightly formal adverb/noun for things that happen now and then. Often used in written language or polite speech.
From time to time, I remember my hometown.
折り節の便りを楽しみにしています。
I look forward to hearing from you occasionally.
Standard kanji spelling; the okurigana り makes the reading clear.
Variant without okurigana; still readable but less common in modern writing.
Compound of 折り (おり, 'occasion, time') and 節 (ふし, 'juncture, moment'). The combination reinforces the idea of 'at certain times'.
