• 続つづくく — to continue
• 続つづける — to keep doing
• 連続れんぞく — continuation, series
• 続行ぞっこう — continuation (of action)

The kanji 続 combines 糸 (thread) and the phonetic 𡿺 (shoku), suggesting the action of “connecting thread” — symbolizing things that follow or continue in sequence. It’s a very common kanji for verbal expressions of persistence or sequence.

話はなしは 続つづきます。

🎧 The on-yomi “ゾク” is often seen in compound words, such as 連続 or 続行. The kun-yomi forms “つづく” and “つづける” are frequently used in everyday conversation and writing, especially for actions in progress.
