How it's used

Focuses on the temporal sequence following a specific event or point in time. It often implies a sense of reflection or a change in state once the dust has settled. Unlike the more generic 之後, this carries a slightly more formal or narrative weight, making it common in storytelling or explaining the consequences of an action.

Examples

Common phrases

talk about it later

si6事gwo3過hau6後

after the matter

Common mistake

Avoid using it as a direct synonym for later in all contexts, as it usually requires a preceding event or condition to anchor the timeline. It sounds unnatural if you simply mean later in the day without a clear reference point.
