The most common equivalent for 'already' in Japanese is もう /mou/ and it is used in casual/friendly/informal conversations or writings. The more formal version of it is すでに /su de ni/ (also written with kanji as 既に) which comparing to 'mou' has less usage in daily conversations but more in writings. The other difference between these two is that 'mou' has several other meanings (like 'no more', 'no longer', 'soon' etc) but they are not too apart or different.
-Examples:
-Jap: もう九時ですか。
-Romaji: mou kuji desu ka?
-Eng: Is it nine o'clock already?
-Jap: 彼女の事はもう諦めた。
-Romaji: kanojo no koto wa mou akirameta.
-Eng: I have already given up on her.
-Jap: 天気予報は既に終わりました。
-Romaji: tenkiyohou wa sudeni owarimashita.
-Eng: Weather forecast is already over.
-Jap: あなたのやり方にはすでに慣れました。
-Romaji: anata no yarikata ni wa sudeni naremashita.
-Eng: I have already gotten used to your way of doing things.
