Today's lesson is all about things happening in the middle of something. Like if you were busy eating a nice burrito, and someone interrupted you with a grammar question. Or, if you were just getting acquainted with some tacos, and someone interrupted you with a grammar question. Orーyeah, I already ate, why'd you ask?
Verb(ている)最中に......
Nounの最中に......
Example:
→ タコスを食べている最中に、電話が鳴った。
"I was in the middle of eating tacos when the phone rang.”
〜最中に is used to express that "X happens in the middle of Y". However, depending on the context of our sentence, it's sometimes more appropriate to translate 最中に as "during" or "while" instead. (Just keep in mind that 〜最中に denotes an action as happening "in the middle of" another!)
