の至り

の至り is used to express that a feeling or state has reached its highest possible level.
It is very similar in meaning to の極み, but softer and more polite in tone.

This grammar is frequently used to express:

• Gratitude

• Honor

• Humility

• Apology

Because of this, の至り appears often in formal speeches, letters, and polite statements, especially when talking about one’s own feelings.

• ✔ Expresses an extreme degree

• ✔ Often used for positive or polite emotions

• ✔ Common in formal / respectful contexts

• ❌ Rare in casual conversation

• ❌ Less commonly used for strong criticism (compared to の極み)
