| Refs: | 新日本語の中級, AOTS, ISBN978-4-88319-230-4 1) ～うちは～ This means "as long as the situation continues". The meaning is similar to "during that time" and "at that time". It is commonly used when comparing that situation and the situation after that. 若いうちは何でもすぐ覚えられるけど、年をとるとなかなか覚えられなくなる。 2) ～うちに～ This form is commonly used when suggesting what one should do while a favorable situation exists or before it ends. 若いうちに、いろいろな国に行って多くの経験をしたほうが良い。 |

| Comments: | I believe the glosses were mistakenly for 今のうちに. 今のうち (今のうちは) has a different meaning as explained above. |
