Jederzeit

Jederzeit is a German adverb meaning "at any time" or "whenever." It denotes that something is possible, available, or applicable without restriction to a specific moment.

Etymology: The word is a compound formed from jeder (every, each) and Zeit (time). In modern orthography it is written as a single word, although the related phrase zu jeder Zeit means the same idea in two words.

Usage: Jederzeit is used to express readiness, availability, or possibility across the full range of time. Common constructions include: "Du kannst jederzeit anrufen" (You can call at any time); "Ich bin jederzeit erreichbar" (I am reachable at any time); "Es ist jederzeit möglich" (It is possible at any time). In formal contexts one may also say "Ich stehe jederzeit zur Verfügung." The term is neutral and frequent in both spoken and written German.

Variants and synonyms: The related phrase zu jeder Zeit conveys a similar meaning and is often used interchangeably, though jederzeit is more compact. It contrasts with restricted time expressions such as nie (never) or selten (rarely) by emphasizing unrestricted availability or possibility.

Translations: In English, jederzeit is typically translated as "anytime" or "at any time." In other languages, the sense is often captured by equivalents like "en cualquier momento" in Spanish or "à tout moment" in French, depending on context.
