Questions & Answers about shokuji no ato, haita.
A natural reading is:
しょくじ の あと、はいた。
- 食事 = しょくじ
- の = の
- あと = あと
- 吐いた = はいた
Be careful with 吐いた: it comes from the verb 吐く (はく, to vomit / throw up), so はいた here is haita.
のあと means after ... when it follows a noun.
So:
- 食事 = meal
- 食事のあと = after the meal / after eating
This pattern is very common:
- 仕事のあと = after work
- 授業のあと = after class
- 映画のあと = after the movie
So Noun + の + あと is a basic grammar pattern for after N.
