昨日のように感じるって英語でなんて言うの？

Time flashes by - especially with advancing years and we all have moments when we reminisce about the past. You could say that five years have 'flashed by,' in any situation. Usually, we would refer to one specific occasion that we have in mind when we talk about 'time flashing by.'

"Time flies by so fast." can refer to any time, which feels like it gone by quicker than it really has. The expression "In a blink of an eye..." can also be used referring to how quickly it seems that time has gone by.

Each of these responses are commonly used in American English and it's a phrase that we say often, because time is definitely moving quickly.

"The years have flown by." This explains that the time has passed very quickly. "It feels like it was only yesterday...." This explains that time has gone by very quickly and that it does not feel as long as it since something happened.

Saying "it feels like yesterday" explains that feeling of time being fleeting. Some memories are just so vivid that they only feel like they happened yesterday!

We often do not realize just how fast time flies by or years go by until it's too late. This usually happens if one does not take advantage of opportunities that come to his/her way. Opportunities missed are never recovered. One comes to find out just how many opportunities one has missed five or so years later that those opportunities are gone for ever, never to come back. The five years gone by seem like yesterday in cases like this. This also happens if a person has been very busy, not noticing just how fast time is flying by until five years have gone by. So, you may say: Oh! How time flies. We last met five years ago but it seems just like yesterday. or Five years have gone by since you graduated from university but it seems just like yesterday.
