About this pattern
Explanation
につけ is used to express that something happens or is true each time a particular situation occurs or a particular condition is met. It conveys a sense of repetition or a recurring feeling, often highlighting how one event leads to a related reaction, realization, or consequence. This pattern is common in both journalistic and literary styles, and it can pair with contrasting clauses when you want to describe how different outcomes arise on different occasions. It can also emphasize that the speaker’s awareness or evaluation changes with each occurrence. Note that the nuance leans toward a general trend or recurring experience rather than a single isolated incident.
