Questions & Answers about Després de la classe, et presentaré la meva amiga.
What does després de la classe mean exactly?
It means after class or more literally after the class.
- després = after / afterwards
- de = of / from, but here it is part of the expression després de = after
- la classe = the class
So the whole phrase sets the time: After class, ...
Why is there a de after després?
Because després normally goes with de when it is followed by a noun or phrase.
So Catalan says:
- després de la classe = after class
- després de dinar = after lunch
- després d’això = after that
This is just the standard pattern in Catalan: després de + noun / phrase.
What does et mean here?
Et means to you here.
In this sentence, the speaker is saying that they will introduce their friend to you:
- et = to you
- presentaré = I will introduce
- la meva amiga = my friend
So et presentaré la meva amiga means I will introduce my friend to you.
