뜻
Used to indicate something will happen at a subsequent time.
문화적 배경
In Spain, 'más tarde' is often replaced by 'luego' in casual goodbyes ('Hasta luego'). 'Más tarde' sounds slightly more precise about the passage of time. Mexicans often use 'al ratito' or 'ahorita' (which is famously ambiguous) instead of 'más tarde' to sound more friendly and less direct. Argentines use 'más tarde' frequently in professional settings to defer tasks, often accompanied by a specific time to show commitment.
The 'Que' Rule
If you are comparing two things, always use 'más tarde que'. Example: 'Llegué más tarde que tú'.
Don't say 'en más tarde'
English speakers often try to say 'in later'. In Spanish, just say 'más tarde' directly.
