सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि

The 'après-midi' is a sacred time for the 'goûter' (snack) at 4 PM, especially for children. In Quebec, 'après' is sometimes used in the structure 'être après faire quelque chose' to mean 'to be in the middle of doing something', though this is informal. The term 'Après-ski' originated here, describing the social life (drinks, music) after skiing. The phrase 'Après moi, le déluge' is a famous historical reference to the end of the French monarchy's stability.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल

12 सवाल

No, it can also be about space (the house after the bridge) or order (you are after me in line).

In casual speech, yes, but in writing or formal exams, you must say 'après avoir mangé'.

'Après' is usually a preposition (followed by a noun), while 'ensuite' is an adverb (used to link sentences).

Both are correct! However, 'le' (masculine) is more common today.

It's a common mistake even for natives. Because 'avant que' uses the subjunctive, people think 'après que' should too.

Use the compound word 'après-demain'.

It means 'according to'. For example: 'D'après mon père' (According to my father).

Only in a sequence. If something is physically hidden behind something else, use 'derrière'.

Only in a liaison, like 'après un' (pronounced like a 'z'). Otherwise, it is silent.

It means 'after the fact' or 'in hindsight'.

Yes, as an adverb meaning 'later'. Example: 'On verra après.' (We'll see later.)

It is neutral. It can be used in any context, from slang to legal texts.
