Questions & Answers about yakiagatta ra kitte.

Why is there a space before ら? Is ら a separate word?

Normally, this would be written as 焼き上がったら切って。 without spaces.

Here, ら is not a separate word. It is part of the grammar pattern:

• verb in plain past form + ら
• this makes 〜たら, meaning if / when / once

So:

• 焼き上がった = has finished baking / baked
• 焼き上がったら = when it has finished baking

The spaces are probably just there to make the sentence easier for learners to read.

What does 焼き上がった mean exactly?

焼き上がった is the plain past form of 焼き上がる.

Breakdown:

• 焼く = to bake, grill, roast, cook with dry heat
• 焼き上がる = to finish baking; to be done baking; to come out baked
