今(いま)にも

今(いま)にも emphasizes that something is on the very brink of happening. It conveys a sense of tension or urgency — the event could occur at any second.

Common patterns

Almost always followed by 〜そうだ or 〜そうな, expressing that something looks like it is about to happen. The も particle adds emphasis beyond plain 今(いま)に.

• 今(いま)にも〜そうだ (looks like it will ~ any moment)
