もう
もう · mou · JLPT N5 · adverb
already
🐄 Sounds like a cow's moo: the cow wants MORE, AGAIN, ALREADY
もう is said like a long mo, close to a cow's moo. A cow moos over and over, so the sound ties to again and more. When the moo comes before you expected it, that is the already sense: moo, done already.
