adverb
nachher
later
zu einem späteren Zeitpunkt; nicht jetzt, sondern danach.
The German word "nachher" is an adverb meaning "afterwards" or "later". It is formed from the words "nach" (meaning "after" or "towards") and "her" (meaning "here," indicating direction towards the speaker).
Similar words:
- später (later)
- danach (after that)
- hinterher (afterwards, usually following after something in place or time)
Difference:
- nachher and später both refer to later points in time, but nachher typically implies immediately after a specific event, while später can be more general and vague.
- danach refers more specifically to "after that" (after a mentioned event).
- hinterher can imply following behind in a spatial or temporal sense and sometimes carries more informal or temporal "afterwards" connotations.
