Everyday. There are entirely way too many different ways to express this simple little thing. Although not universally agreeable, below is what I would consider a classification of each term:
맨날 - conversational
하루 - both conversational and formal
하루하루 - conversational (emphasis)
매일 - both conversational and formal
일상적인 - both conversational and formal
While all of the above mean "everyday" the last really means "regularly" or "routinely" which could easily almost stand in for "everyday" in some contexts. Korean seldom uses 일상적인 but instead 일상 + 명사 as in:
일상생활 - everyday life, daily life, the day-to-day
일상업무 - daily business, the daily grind, routine work
일상용품 - things that are used routinely everyday
More examples:
엄마는 맨날 나보고만 뭐라고 해.
Why does my mom always (everyday) pick on me?
오늘 하루도 참 길었지.
Today was such a long day.
하루하루 멀어져 가겠지.
♪ Each day I'm getting farther from you ♪
나는 매일 아침 7시 30분에 출근해요.
I start work everyday at 7:30 in the morning.
저의 일상적인 업무는 학교에서 시작해서 학교에서 끝나요.
My daily routine starts and ends at school.
당신의 일상 생활은 바쁜 편입니까?
Is your daily life considered busy?
