Phrase: Allora
Translation: Then

Our Italian teacher, Costanza, uses this word often, usually when we are beginning a new topic or activity. It is usually followed by "adesso," meaning "now." Many of us have begun to use one or both, not always in the appropriate context. Nonetheless, they are fun to say, and on more than one occasion, one person saying "Allora" has been followed by a rousing chorus of echoes from those around them.
