To have become accustomed to a new environment, situation, or change over time.
经过一个月的训练，他已经适应了新的工作节奏。
After a month of training, he has already adapted to the new work rhythm.
虽然一开始很不习惯，但现在我已经适应了这种生活方式。
Although it was very uncomfortable at first, I have now adapted to this lifestyle.
Often used with '了' to indicate completion of the adaptation process.
Use '已经适应 + [noun phrase]' to indicate completion of adaptation. Example: '我已经适应了这里的食物。' (I have already adapted to the food here.)
The '了' particle after '适应' indicates completion. Without '了', it implies ongoing adaptation. Example: '我正在适应新环境。' (I am adapting to the new environment.)
The phrase combines '已经' (yǐ jīng, 'already') and '适应' (shì yìng, 'to adapt'). '适应' consists of '适' (shì, 'to fit') and '应' (yìng, 'to respond'), reflecting the idea of responding appropriately to changes.
Commonly used in contexts involving personal or environmental changes. Often paired with time expressions like '经过...' (after...) or '慢慢地...' (gradually...).
