How to say "fully" in Japanese
- adverb (with と)Covers 'fully' only in the sense of feeling or realizing something keenly and deeply; it is not about quantity or completeness, so it seldom translates neutral 'fully'.
- adverb (with と), na-adjective, suffixCovers 'fully' when it means 'to the full' in quantity — amply, generously, with plenty to spare, as in sleeping fully or having ample time; not about emotions or sufficiency.
- 優にゆうにadverbCovers 'fully' before amounts and degrees that comfortably reach or exceed a level — 'fully ten years', 'well over a hundred'; the sense is 'easily, with room to spare'.
- 十分じゅうぶんadverbThe all-purpose choice: use it whenever 'fully' simply means 'sufficiently, thoroughly, enough' — fully understanding, fully prepared, fully satisfied; when in doubt, this is the word to reach for.
- adverb (with と)Colloquial and rarely the neutral word for 'fully': it means doing something properly and heartily, taking a solid, satisfying amount — the tone of tucking into a big meal.
Choose 十分 for the neutral sense 'sufficiently, fully'; 「たっぷり」 for generous quantity, 「優に」 for amounts that comfortably exceed a level, 「しみじみ」 for deeply felt realization, and 「がっつり」 for casual, hearty fullness.
