Порой после совещания мне не до разговоров, и я просто молча иду домой.

Порой means sometimes / at times. In this sentence, it introduces something that happens from time to time after a meeting.

It is very close to иногда, but порой can sound a little more literary, reflective, or emotional depending on context. In everyday speech, both are common, and in many cases you could replace порой with иногда without changing the basic meaning.

So:

• Порой = sometimes / at times
• Иногда = sometimes

Here, порой gives a slightly more natural, flowing tone.

Because it comes after после, and после requires the genitive case.

The dictionary form is совещание (meeting). Its genitive singular is совещания.

So:

• совещание = nominative singular
• после совещания = after the meeting

This is a very common pattern:

• после урока = after the lesson
• после работы = after work
• после обеда = after lunch

Because this is not a normal I do X structure. The expression мне не до... is built around the dative case, and мне means to me / for me.

Russian often uses the dative in expressions about a person’s state, feeling, or situation. So instead of saying something in a very direct personal-subject way, Russian may say something more like:

• Мне холодно = I am cold
• Мне скучно = I am bored
• Мне не до шуток = I’m not in the mood for jokes

So мне here is not the subject in the English sense. It marks the person affected by the situation.

This is an idiomatic expression. Literally, it is something like it’s not up to conversations for me, but that is not how you should understand it in English.

Natural meanings are:

• I’m not in the mood for talking
• I don’t feel like talking
• I’m not up for conversation
• I’m not in the mood for chatting

The pattern не до + genitive means that someone does not have the emotional energy, time, attention, or inclination for something.

For example:

• Мне не до шуток = I’m not in the mood for jokes
• Ему сейчас не до сна = He’s not thinking about sleep right now / It’s not the time for sleep for him
• Нам было не до смеха = We were not in the mood for laughter

Not really. Russian often omits есть (is/are) in the present tense.

So a very literal expanded version would be something like:

• Мне сейчас не до разговоров (есть).

But in normal Russian, you simply do not say the present-tense to be here.

This is completely standard. Compare:

• Я студент. = I am a student.
• Мне грустно. = I am sad.
• Мне не до разговоров. = I’m not in the mood for talking.

Because the expression не до + genitive requires the genitive case, and here the noun is plural.

The dictionary form is:

• разговор = conversation, talk

Plural nominative:

• разговоры = conversations

Genitive plural:

• разговоров

So:

• не до разговоров = not in the mood for conversations/talking

This is fixed by the expression не до.

The plural sounds natural because it refers to talking / conversations in general, not one specific conversation.

So не до разговоров means something like:

• not up for talking
• not in the mood for conversation

Using the singular не до разговора would usually sound more specific and less idiomatic in this context. The plural is the normal choice in this kind of general statement.

Просто here means just / simply.

It softens and simplifies the action:

• я просто молча иду домой = I just silently walk home

It gives the sense that the speaker does nothing more than that—no talking, no extra action, just quietly going home.

Very common uses of просто are:

• Я просто устал. = I’m just tired.
• Просто подожди. = Just wait.
• Он просто ушёл. = He simply left.

Молча is an adverb meaning silently / without speaking.

It describes how the speaker goes home:

• иду домой = I go / walk home
• молча иду домой = I go home silently

This is the natural adverb form from the idea of being silent.

Compare:

• тихий = quiet
• тихо = quietly

But here the fixed, idiomatic adverb is молча:

• сидеть молча = sit silently
• слушать молча = listen in silence
• молча уйти = leave without saying anything

Because иду comes from идти, which means to go on foot in one direction.

So иду домой means I walk/go home.

Compare:

• иду = I’m going / walking
• еду = I’m going by vehicle
• пойду = I will go / I’ll go

In this sentence, иду is present tense and fits the idea of a repeated situation described vividly: Sometimes after a meeting..., I just silently go home.

Russian often uses the present tense this way for habitual or typical actions.

Because домой means homeward / to home, showing direction.

• иду домой = I’m going home
• я дома = I’m at home

So:

• домой = motion toward home
• дома = location at home

This is a very important distinction in Russian.

Yes. Russian word order is flexible, and changing it can shift emphasis.

The original sentence is:

• Порой после совещания мне не до разговоров, и я просто молча иду домой.

Other possible orders include:

• Порой мне после совещания не до разговоров...
• После совещания порой мне не до разговоров...

These all mean roughly the same thing, but the emphasis changes slightly:

• putting порой first emphasizes sometimes
• putting после совещания earlier emphasizes after the meeting
• keeping мне не до разговоров together keeps the idiomatic expression clear

For a learner, the original order is very natural and easy to process.

Because и here joins two clauses:

1. Порой после совещания мне не до разговоров
2. я просто молча иду домой

Each part has its own predicate structure, so a comma is standard before и when it joins two independent clauses.

In English, this is similar to:

• Sometimes after a meeting I’m not in the mood for talking, and I just walk home in silence.

So the comma is normal punctuation here.
