everyday adjective BrE /ˈevrideɪ/ ; NAmE /ˈevrideɪ/ [only before noun]

used or happening every day or regularly; ordinary

everyday objects

The Internet has become part of everyday life.

a small dictionary for everyday use

ежедневный; повседневный; будничный; каждодневный, обычный

every day = каждый день

Everyday is an adjective used to describe things that (1) occur every day, or (2) are ordinary or commonplace.

In the two-word phrase every day, the adjective every modifies the noun day, and the phrase usually functions adverbially.

For example, every day you eat breakfast. You brush your teeth every day. Maybe you go for a walk every day. These are everyday activities.

When you’re not sure which one to use, try replacing everyday/every day with each day. If each day would make sense in its place, then you want the two-word form. Everyday, meanwhile, is synonymous with daily or ordinary, depending on its sense.
