てよかった

Use てよかった to express relief or happiness about something that has happened or a situation that turned out well. It describes a past event or state and the speaker feels glad about it. The verb or adjective is put in its te-form and followed by よかった. This conveys personal feeling about a completed action or state; it does not express a wish for the future. For na-adjectives and nouns, connect with で before よかった. Commonly used after everyday events or small resolutions, often reflecting relief, gratitude, or satisfaction. Examples: - 昨日、雨が降らなくてよかった。/ It was good that it didn’t rain yesterday. - 今日はいい天気でよかった。/ It’s nice that the weather is good today. - 友達が来てよかった。/ I’m glad my friend came. - 元気でよかった。/ I’m glad (that I’m) well. - 来週の試験に合格できてよかった。/ I’m glad I could pass next week’s exam.
