Today we are talking about a 'fun' yet sad words called Toutou. とうとう (toutou) Something that the speaker or subject has been expecting “finally” happened. It might sound similar to やっと, but it doesn’t carry the positive connotation of the thing being desirable. Quite the opposite, frequently the thing that happens in a とうとう sentence is something undesirable that one has no control over. However, if the thing was something in your control than it expresses a sense of satisfaction over the process, somewhat similarly to やっと.
