How it's formed2

All forms1

  • てこのかたtekonokataliterary

    味あじわってこのかた

    bookish twin of て以来いらい, almost always followed by a negative or a "not once" — 就職しゅうしょくしてこのかた、休やすんだことがない. Rare in conversation.

Notes

以来いらい joins a noun bare (卒業そつぎょう以来いらい), never with の. What
follows must still hold now, so a closed-off past event can't follow it.
