A1 adverb 1 मिनट पढ़ने का समय

sonra

When you're just starting out in Azerbaijani (A1 level), knowing how to talk about time is really useful. The word sonra is perfect for this. It means 'later' or 'after'.

You can use sonra to say you'll do something later, or to put events in order. It's a simple word, but it opens up a lot of possibilities for basic conversations.

When using "sonra" to mean "after," it often follows a noun or pronoun in the ablative case (which ends in -dan/-dən). This shows what the action or event is happening after.

For example, "dərsdən sonra" means "after the lesson," and "ondan sonra" means "after him/her."

When referring to a general "later" in time, "sonra" stands alone.

For instance, you might say "Sonra görüşərik," which means "We'll see each other later."

When using sonra, it's important to understand how it connects with time and events. Unlike some English equivalents, sonra often follows the noun or pronoun it modifies. For instance, if you want to say "after work," you'd say işdən sonra (literally, "from work after").

This structure is crucial for accurate sentence construction. Another common usage is to indicate a sequence of events, as in yeməkdən sonra getdik ("after eating, we left"). Pay close attention to the dative case (-dən/-dan) often used before sonra when referring to actions or completed events.
