Questions & Answers about Selepas itu, saya semak semula semua nota dengan perlahan.

What does Selepas itu literally mean, and how is it different from kemudian or then?

Selepas itu literally means after that.

• selepas = after
• itu = that
  So the idea is after that (event/moment).

You can usually translate it as after that or then in English.

Difference from kemudian:

• Selepas itu = after that (specific previous action) – it feels slightly more connected to the previous thing that was mentioned.
• Kemudian = then / later – more general; often just means then in a sequence.

In many contexts they can both be used for then in a narrative:

• Selepas itu, saya semak semula semua nota…
• Kemudian, saya semak semula semua nota…

Both are fine and common.
