About this pattern

Explanation

ごとに marks repetition or variation at regular intervals. It is placed after a noun or a time unit to say that something happens, changes, or is repeated every X. It emphasizes consistent spacing or frequency between events, rather than a one-time occurrence. It can refer to concrete intervals (days, weeks, years) or abstract periods, and can also convey that each instance has a distinct characteristic.
