You are emphasizing the "always" part more when you use 四六時中. It also gives your speech more color using 四六時中 than いつも.

いつも is used way more often than 四六時中 as the simple syllable counts would tell, but 四六時中 would be a very good addition to anyone's vocabulary.


Your Japanese proficiency shall be in direct proportion
to your true interest in the Japanese Mind.
