~てからというもの
~te kara to iu mono
ever since (emphatic)
When to use it
Use ~てからというもの in writing or formal speech to mark a point in the past after which a lasting, often striking change set in. It is more emphatic and more literary than plain ~てから, and the following clause almost always describes an ongoing state or continuing tendency, not a single event. Common in reports, columns, and formal email where you want to stress that things have not been the same since.
Formation
