Questions & Answers about Раз мы уже всё уладили, давай вечером спокойно поужинаем дома.

What does раз mean here? Does it mean one time / once?

No. In this sentence, раз is a conjunction meaning since, as, or if that’s the case.

So:

• Раз мы уже всё уладили... = Since we’ve already settled everything...
• It introduces the reason for the suggestion in the second part of the sentence.

This is different from раз meaning time/instance, as in:

• Один раз = one time / once
• Много раз = many times

Here, it has a conversational, slightly natural spoken feel: Well, since we’ve already sorted everything out...

Why is there a comma after уладили?

Because Раз мы уже всё уладили is a subordinate clause, and it is followed by the main clause:

• Раз мы уже всё уладили,
• давай вечером спокойно поужинаем дома.

In English, this works like:

• Since we’ve already settled everything, let’s have a quiet dinner at home tonight.

Russian usually separates this kind of introductory clause with a comma.

Why is it всё, not все?
