1.
point in time, as of (a certain time)
A specific moment or point on a timeline. Used to indicate when something was true or when a decision was made, often emphasizing that the situation may have changed since then.
Usage
Very common in formal and semi-formal contexts. The most frequent patterns are:
- Noun + の時点で: at the time/point of [noun]
- その時点で: at that point
- 現時点で: at the present time, as of now
- この時点で: at this point
Implies that the situation described may no longer be true — it captures a snapshot of a specific moment.
