Not nessacarly
It means something nearly always happens. It is used to indicate that something is almost guaranteed to happen.
to happen; to exist; to come to mind
For something to happen in increments or for it to happen incrementally means that it happens in small and discrete steps, and the implication is that the steps are in order. It can refer to a process that involves an increasing or decreasing amount of something.
For ages mean something takes forever and might not even happen. In ages means that it happens in a long time. So for ages might not happen and in ages is something that will happen but in a long time.
if you can tell that something's about to happen 2-10 sec. before it happens, then you just have a strong sense of intuition. if you can tell that something's going to happen earlier than 2-10 sec...... sorry=(..... cant help you.
To ordain something to happen is to order or command it.
to say that something will happen in the future
When something bad happens, you are supposed to learn something to help you in the future. If anything similar were to ever happen again, you'd know what to do.
No, it does not mean that it will never happen. Impossible means that it will never happen. unlikely to happen does mean that probably it will not happen..
Something to do with thunder/lightning. That's what the suffix "rai" can mean, with the correct kanji.
an unintended benefit is when something bad happens when the scientist didnt mean it to happen
Assuming you mean does there have to be rain where you are for you to hear thunder, the answer is no. Thunder can be heard from quite a distance so the thunder may be happening a distance away where it's raining, and it not be raining where you are.There's also a phenomenon called dry thunder where there is rain from the clouds but it evaporates before it reaches the ground. This is more likely to happen in deserts and other arid places.
