Today we'll be looking at the usage of "Noun ~ 마다" Korean grammar pattern with some examples.
Usage :
마다 literally means 'every'. It's used to express the repetition of things.
For example, if you want to say, "I do jogging every morning", you will say 이침마다 조깅해요.
So 마다+Noun is equivalent of saying 'each, every Noun' in English.

The conjugation is very simple here. You just have to add 마다 just after the noun which is repeating.
