trở về sau là
/tɕɔ˧˥ ˧ve˧˧ ʂaːu˧˥ laː˧˧/
VI
a Vietnamese conjunctive phrase that means 'after that, then' or 'and then', used to connect sequential actions or events
Tôi ăn cơm, trở về sau là đi ngủ.
I eat rice, and then I go to sleep.
Etymology
It is a common Vietnamese phrasal conjunction formed from the verbs 'trở về' (return) and the adverb 'sau' (after) plus the copula 'là', evolving from sequential speech patterns in colloquial Vietnamese.
Memory Aid
Break it down: 'trở về' = return, 'sau' = after, 'là' = is; so 'after returning, it is' → naturally leads to the meaning 'and then' for sequential events.
