When discussing the preposition "po" at a C1 level, it's essential to delve into its more nuanced and idiomatic uses beyond the basic "under" and "after."
Firstly, "po" can indicate distribution or frequency, similar to "per" or "each" in English, as in "po vieną" (one by one) or "po du kartus per dieną" (twice a day).
Secondly, it's frequently used in expressions denoting sequence or order, like "po eilės" (in order) or "po truputį" (little by little).
Finally, "po" can also be found in various fixed expressions where its meaning is not immediately derivable from its primary senses, such as "po galvos" (headfirst) or "po ranka" (at hand), enriching the understanding of its versatility in the Lithuanian language.
