Usages of sitten
Tulen kotiin tekemään läksyt, ja sitten lepään.
I come home to do the homework, and then I rest.
Ensin juon kahvia, sitten luen kirjaa.
First I drink coffee, then I read a book.
Jutellaanhan ensin, sitten syödään.
Let’s chat first, then we’ll eat.
Lisään öljyä ja sekoitan kaiken, sitten maustan suolalla.
I add oil and mix everything, then season with salt.
Syön pienen iltapalan ja menen sitten ylös nukkumaan viisi minuuttia myöhemmin.
I eat a small evening snack and then go upstairs to sleep five minutes later.
Meillä on kotona selvä järjestys: ensin läksyt on tehtävä, sitten saa pelata.
We have a clear rule at home: first the homework has to be done, then you may play.
Kuntosalilla näytän ensin jäsenkortin ja menen sitten pukuhuoneeseen.
At the gym I first show my membership card and then go to the changing room.
Odotan vartin ja sitten menen kotiin.
I will wait for a quarter of an hour and then I will go home.
Test yourself: What does sitten mean?
