jedesmal vs immer

always

'immer' and 'jedesmal' can both express that something happens without exception. 'immer' is more general and can describe an ongoing habit or state. 'jedesmal' means more specifically: on each individual occasion. The correct spelling today is 'jedes Mal'. Learners may confuse the words because both often have to do with repetition. If you want to say generally that something is always the case, 'immer' fits better. If you are focusing on individual situations, 'jedes Mal' sounds more natural.

Visual example for immer
jedesmal

Im Bus wird sie jedes Mal müde.
