Sudden - How to express
When would you use the word 突然Is the direct meaning sudden? and are there other words to express the word sudden / suddenly.
Yeah, I think you can translate 突然 as "sudden / suddenly" in most cases. Similar words that popped into my head were 唐突(とうとつ)に and いきなり. Those words can also express the word "sudden / suddenly."
E.G. 彼（かれ）は唐突（とうとつ）に歌い始(はじ)めた。He started singing all of a sudden.
E.G. 電話（でんわ）していたら、彼女がいきなり怒（おこ）り出（だ）した。I was chatting on the phone with my girlfriend when she suddenly got mad at me.
E.g. Suddenly the door open. 突然（とつぜん）、ドアが開（あ）いた。
E.g. I heard a sudden noise 突然、物音（ものおと）がした。
Another E.G. It started raining all of a sudden. 突然、雨（あめ）が降(ふ)ってきた。
I hope this helps :)
