Breakdown of Dopo che avremo mangiato, porterò alla nonna una fetta di torta ancora calda.
Questions & Answers about Dopo che avremo mangiato, porterò alla nonna una fetta di torta ancora calda.
Because the sentence talks about two actions in the future, and one of them happens before the other:
- avremo mangiato = we will have eaten
- porterò = I will bring
Italian often uses the future perfect (futuro anteriore) after dopo che when it means after and the action is completed before another future action.
So:
- Dopo che avremo mangiato, porterò... = After we have eaten, I will bring...
This is very natural in Italian. English can also use after we have eaten, but often just says after we eat.
Avremo mangiato is the future perfect of mangiare.
It is made with:
- the future of avere: avrò, avrai, avrà, avremo, avrete, avranno
- the past participle: mangiato
So:
- avremo = we will have
- mangiato = eaten
Together:
- avremo mangiato = we will have eaten
The subject is understood from the verb ending:
- avremo = we will have
So Italian does not need to say noi unless you want emphasis.
