Forever means for all future time without end, or informally, for what seems like a very long time. It's often used in romantic contexts ('I'll love you forever') and in exaggeration ('This queue is taking forever'). In British English, 'for ever' can be written as two words.

Forever意为永远不会结束的所有未来时间，或非正式地表示看起来很长的时间。它经常用于浪漫语境（'我会永远爱你'）和夸张表达（'这个队伍排得太久了'）。在英式英语中，'for ever'可以写成两个词。

Forever significa para todo el tiempo futuro sin fin, o informalmente, por lo que parece mucho tiempo. Se usa a menudo en contextos románticos («Te amaré para siempre») y en exageraciones («Esta cola está tardando una eternidad»). En inglés británico, «for ever» puede escribirse como dos palabras.

Foreverは終わりのない将来のすべての時間、または口語的に、非常に長い時間のように思えることを意味します。ロマンチックな文脈（「永遠に愛します」）や誇張表現（「この行列は永遠にかかる」）でよく使われます。イギリス英語では「for ever」と2語で書くこともできます。

forever는 끝없이 미래 영원토록이라는 의미이거나, 비격식적으로 매우 오랜 시간처럼 느껴지는 것을 뜻합니다. 로맨틱한 맥락('I'll love you forever')이나 과장('This queue is taking forever')에서 자주 사용됩니다. 영국 영어에서는 'for ever'로 두 단어로 쓰기도 합니다.
