Recently
The Other Day
noun
The previous approximate was the previous approximate time, which is recently or the other day.
The reading is the kun'yomi vocab readings of the two kanji. That's 先 and 頃 (the reading you learned) put together. The 頃 is the rendaku'd version, ごろ so be careful.
つい先頃までとても仲良くしてたのに、彼が急によそよそしくなったんだけど、理由が全然分からないの。
We’d been good friends until just recently, but he suddenly grew really cold toward me. I don’t understand why.
