English 1good timing
English 2just on time
ReferenceSee google for 「丁度いい」、「ちょうどいい」
Comment「ちょうどいい」って言葉のほうが「丁度いい」よりも多く使われそうです。
Google for 「丁度いい」 has 3,4 million, compared with 「ちょうどいい」 7,0 million, but notice Google even (somehow) includes the readings when searching; the very first result for 「丁度いい」 matches "ちょうどいい" in the page title.
