They tell a reader exactly when something happens, and they signal the register: a courtroom transcript will pick <em>allorch\u00e9<\/em> where a chat with a friend would use <em>quando<\/em>. This C1 guide maps the whole family, shows you what survives in newspapers and emails, and what belongs on a notarial deed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The family of Italian temporal connectives has more than a dozen items, and choosing the right one is mostly about register. Native writers do not pick italian temporal connectives at random: they match each word to the tone of the surrounding paragraph. Some of them (<em>mentre<\/em>, <em>finch\u00e9<\/em>, <em>non appena<\/em>) work in any context, from a WhatsApp message to a senate report. Others (<em>allorch\u00e9<\/em>, <em>frattanto<\/em>, <em>previo<\/em>) sound either elegant or pompous depending on where you place them. The goal of this guide is to give you confidence: you will read a leading article in <em>Il Sole 24 Ore<\/em>, or a contract, and recognise instantly which slot each connector fills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We will also look at three traps that even advanced learners walk into: the difference between <em>intanto che<\/em> and <em>frattanto che<\/em>, the agreement rules of <em>previo<\/em>, and the famous <em>finch\u00e9 (non)<\/em> debate. Each section ends with a short test you can do on your phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity is-style-wide\" \/>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-toc-tempconn\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p><\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"gb-headline gb-headline-toc-h-tempconn gb-headline-text\" style=\"text-align:center;font-size:22px;margin-bottom:10px\">Cosa impareremo oggi<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83d\udc46\ud83c\udffb Jump to sections<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#map\">A map of italian temporal connectives<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#mentre\">Mentre: the neutral backbone<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#intanto\">Intanto and frattanto: meanwhile, with two registers<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#allorche\">Allorch\u00e9 and allorquando: when the page is solemn<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#finche\">Finch\u00e9: until, as long as, and the optional non<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#nonappena\">Non appena: the precise as soon as<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dopodiche\">Dopodich\u00e9: after which, with a pause<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#previo\">Previo: the bureaucratic prior to<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#alcontempo\">Al contempo: at the same time, with weight<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#cheat-sheet\">Cheat-sheet: register at a glance<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#dialogue\">Lavinia and Tobia at the courthouse<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#challenge\">Mini-challenge<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"#quiz\">Quiz<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#faq\">Frequently asked questions<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"#related\">Related guides<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"map\">A map of italian temporal connectives<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open the front page of any Italian newspaper and you will find at least three italian temporal connectives in the first two columns. The reason is simple: news writing demands precision about time. A sentence like &#8220;the suspect was arrested while leaving the building&#8221; reads in Italian as <em>il sospettato \u00e8 stato arrestato mentre usciva dall&#8217;edificio<\/em>, and the journalist&#8217;s first choice of connector signals the whole tone of the piece. If the same writer had used <em>allorch\u00e9 usciva<\/em>, you would have immediately filed the article under &#8220;editorial&#8221; or &#8220;legal commentary&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So the first thing to grasp about italian temporal connectives is that they sort themselves along two axes. The first axis is meaning: contemporaneity (<em>mentre<\/em>, <em>intanto<\/em>, <em>al contempo<\/em>), anteriority (<em>prima che<\/em>, <em>previo<\/em>), posteriority (<em>dopo che<\/em>, <em>dopodich\u00e9<\/em>, <em>non appena<\/em>), or duration (<em>finch\u00e9<\/em>). The second axis is register: how formal the surrounding text is. A novelist can use <em>allorch\u00e9<\/em> for atmosphere, a contract uses <em>previo<\/em> because tradition demands it, and a friend on the phone uses <em>quando<\/em> because nothing else feels natural.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The native institutional reference, the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/proposizioni-temporali_(La-grammatica-italiana)\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani entry on proposizioni temporali<\/a>, lists most italian temporal connectives under three headings: contemporaneit\u00e0, anteriorit\u00e0, posteriorit\u00e0. Notice that some items (<em>finch\u00e9<\/em>, in particular) appear in two categories, because they can mean both &#8220;until&#8221; and &#8220;as long as&#8221; depending on context. We will untangle each one in turn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"mentre\">Mentre: the neutral backbone<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you remember only one of the italian temporal connectives from this guide, make it <em>mentre<\/em>. It works in every register, from a text message to a constitutional court ruling. It introduces a verb in the indicative when you describe contemporaneity, and a verb in the subjunctive when you signal contrast (the famous <em>mentre<\/em> avversativo). In speech, no one will ever raise an eyebrow at it, and among italian temporal connectives it remains the safest default for any tone of voice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Mentre cercavo il portafoglio in fondo alla borsa, il treno per Pescara \u00e8 partito senza di me.<\/li>\n<li>Il giudice ascoltava in silenzio, mentre l&#8217;avvocata leggeva la memoria difensiva a voce ferma.<\/li>\n<li>Mentre tu pensi che la sentenza sia ingiusta, la maggior parte dei colleghi la trova prevedibile.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third example shows the contrastive use: here <em>mentre<\/em>, the most flexible of italian temporal connectives, does not mark time, but opposition between two viewpoints. In writing this happens often, especially in opinion pieces. The verb stays in the indicative, but the rhythm of the sentence makes the contrastive reading obvious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"intanto\">Intanto and frattanto: meanwhile, with two registers<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is where italian temporal connectives start to look subtle. <em>Intanto<\/em> and <em>frattanto<\/em> share more or less the same core meaning, &#8220;meanwhile, in the meantime&#8221;, but they sit on different shelves of the language. <em>Intanto<\/em> is everyday, you will hear it in a kitchen and read it in a tabloid. <em>Frattanto<\/em> is a step up: it appears in essays, in long-form journalism, in fiction with a slightly old-fashioned narrator. According to the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/intanto\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani entry on intanto<\/a>, both can also be followed by <em>che<\/em> to introduce a subordinate clause (<em>intanto che<\/em>, <em>frattanto che<\/em>), and in that construction they overlap with <em>mentre<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Tu sistemi i fascicoli sul tavolo grande, intanto io stampo le copie per il collegio.<\/li>\n<li>L&#8217;imputato ha negato ogni addebito; frattanto la difesa preparava il ricorso in appello.<\/li>\n<li>Intanto che il giudice rientrava in aula, i cronisti uscivano in corridoio a confrontarsi.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A common mistake among learners studying italian temporal connectives is to treat <em>intanto<\/em> as if it always meant time. In conversation it often takes on a concessive flavour, closer to &#8220;in any case&#8221; or &#8220;for the moment&#8221;, as in <em>intanto ti ringrazio<\/em>, &#8220;well, I thank you anyway&#8221;. This is colloquial only; in a written text, prefer <em>comunque<\/em> or <em>in ogni caso<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"gb-container gb-container-mt-intanto\"><div class=\"gb-inside-container\">\n<p><strong>Mini-task.<\/strong> Replace each <em>intanto<\/em> with the most natural alternative (or leave it, if it already sounds right).<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Intanto piove a dirotto e la partita \u00e8 stata sospesa.<\/li>\n<li>Tu vai pure avanti, intanto io aspetto Camilla all&#8217;uscita della biblioteca.<\/li>\n<li>Intanto ti dico grazie, poi vediamo se serve fare di pi\u00f9.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<details><summary>\ud83d\udc49 Show answers<\/summary>\n<p>1. <em>Intanto<\/em> here means &#8220;for the moment&#8221; \/ &#8220;as things stand&#8221;, so <em>per ora piove a dirotto<\/em> or <em>al momento piove<\/em> is clearer in writing. 2. Pure temporal use, <em>intanto<\/em> is perfect. A more formal version would be <em>frattanto io aspetto Camilla<\/em>. 3. Colloquial concessive use, in writing prefer <em>intanto, ti ringrazio<\/em> with a comma, or replace with <em>per cominciare, ti ringrazio<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"allorche\">Allorch\u00e9 and allorquando: when the page is solemn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If <em>frattanto<\/em> is one step up from <em>intanto<\/em>, then <em>allorch\u00e9<\/em> is three steps up from <em>quando<\/em>, and probably the most distinctively formal of all italian temporal connectives. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/allorche\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani entry for allorch\u00e9<\/a> lists it as a temporal conjunction equivalent to <em>quando<\/em>, with a literary or formal flavour. You will meet it in essays, in court rulings, in the prose of writers who want to slow the reader down. Its variant <em>allorquando<\/em> is even more formal, almost archaic, and survives in legal Italian where the longer form sounds more &#8220;official&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Allorch\u00e9 la corte si pronunci\u00f2, il pubblico in aula trattenne il respiro per un lungo istante.<\/li>\n<li>Allorquando la richiesta venga formulata per iscritto, l&#8217;ente \u00e8 tenuto a rispondere entro trenta giorni.<\/li>\n<li>Tobia torn\u00f2 al taccuino allorch\u00e9 cap\u00ec che l&#8217;udienza stava per riprendere.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Two practical signals will help you place these italian temporal connectives correctly. First, in a normal conversation, <em>allorch\u00e9<\/em> sounds out of place; choose <em>quando<\/em>. Second, in a written text it pairs naturally with <em>passato remoto<\/em> or with a stretched <em>imperfetto<\/em>; the rhythm of a literary tense supports it. Mixing <em>allorch\u00e9<\/em> with a colloquial verb (<em>allorch\u00e9 ci siamo fatti due chiacchiere<\/em>) produces a comic clash that few native writers would risk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"finche\">Finch\u00e9: until, as long as, and the optional non<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Among italian temporal connectives, <em>finch\u00e9<\/em> generates the most questions on language forums, and the reason is the optional <em>non<\/em>. The connector covers two meanings: &#8220;as long as&#8221; (durative) and &#8220;until&#8221; (terminal). When the meaning is &#8220;as long as&#8221;, no <em>non<\/em> appears. When the meaning is &#8220;until&#8221; and the dependent clause has a verb in the indicative future or subjunctive, the <em>non<\/em> is usually present, although modern usage is increasingly tolerant of its absence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Continuer\u00f2 a difendere il mio assistito finch\u00e9 avr\u00f2 la prova della sua innocenza. <em>(&#8220;as long as&#8221;, no non)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Aspetteremo in corridoio finch\u00e9 non rientreranno i giudici dalla camera di consiglio. <em>(&#8220;until&#8221;, non present)<\/em><\/li>\n<li>Lavinia non vuole rilasciare dichiarazioni finch\u00e9 il dispositivo non sia stato depositato. <em>(&#8220;until&#8221; + subjunctive in formal register)<\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A useful test for italian temporal connectives in this family: if you can replace <em>finch\u00e9<\/em> with &#8220;as long as&#8221; in English without changing the meaning, do not insert <em>non<\/em>. If the natural English is &#8220;until&#8221;, expect <em>non<\/em>, especially in careful written Italian. The Treccani entry on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/congiunzioni-temporali_(La-grammatica-italiana)\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">congiunzioni temporali<\/a> registers both usages as acceptable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"nonappena\">Non appena: the precise as soon as<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Non appena<\/em> is one of the rare italian temporal connectives that cross every register without losing weight. In speech it functions as a slightly more emphatic version of <em>appena<\/em>, while in writing it is the standard formal choice for &#8220;as soon as&#8221;. With a past tense narrative it triggers the trapassato remoto (<em>non appena ebbi finito<\/em>), a tense that survives almost exclusively in literary or historical writing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Non appena la sentenza fu letta, i parenti dell&#8217;imputato scoppiarono in lacrime in fondo all&#8217;aula.<\/li>\n<li>Ti scrivo non appena Tobia mi conferma l&#8217;orario del prossimo appuntamento.<\/li>\n<li>Non appena ebbero firmato il verbale, gli agenti rilasciarono il teste e lo accompagnarono all&#8217;uscita.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"dopodiche\">Dopodich\u00e9: after which, with a pause<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>Dopodich\u00e9<\/em> is a strange beast among italian temporal connectives. Strictly speaking it is a single graphic form built from <em>dopo<\/em> + <em>di<\/em> + <em>che<\/em>, and it means &#8220;after which&#8221;. But in modern usage it acquired a second life: speakers and writers use it to insert a pause between two parts of a discourse, often with a vaguely adversative tinge (&#8220;having said that, however&#8230;&#8221;). The pause is exactly what makes it useful.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Abbiamo depositato la memoria entro i termini; dopodich\u00e9 spetter\u00e0 alla controparte muoversi.<\/li>\n<li>Capisco le tue ragioni, dopodich\u00e9 la decisione finale resta in mano al cliente.<\/li>\n<li>Hanno verbalizzato ogni testimonianza, dopodich\u00e9 la cancelleria ha trasmesso gli atti al tribunale.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One important caution that applies to several italian temporal connectives: <em>dopodich\u00e8<\/em> with grave accent is a frequent misspelling. The accent is always acute, so <em>dopodich\u00e9<\/em>, in the same family as <em>perch\u00e9<\/em>, <em>giacch\u00e9<\/em>, <em>poich\u00e9<\/em>, <em>finch\u00e9<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"previo\">Previo: the bureaucratic prior to<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will rarely hear <em>previo<\/em> at the dinner table, but you cannot read an Italian contract, a bureaucratic letter, or a municipal notice without bumping into it. Of all italian temporal connectives, this is the one most firmly anchored to a specific text type. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/vocabolario\/previo\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani entry for previo<\/a> classifies it as an adjective that always agrees in gender and number with the noun that follows, used in the meaning &#8220;preceded by, after a previous&#8221;. It introduces a condition that must be fulfilled before something else happens.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Previo appuntamento, l&#8217;ufficio riceve il pubblico ogni marted\u00ec e gioved\u00ec mattina.<\/li>\n<li>Il rimborso sar\u00e0 erogato previa presentazione della ricevuta fiscale originale entro sessanta giorni.<\/li>\n<li>L&#8217;accesso ai documenti \u00e8 consentito previo nulla osta del responsabile del procedimento.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This agreement rule sets <em>previo<\/em> apart from most other italian temporal connectives, which are invariable. Notice: <em>previo appuntamento<\/em> (masculine singular), <em>previa presentazione<\/em> (feminine singular), <em>previ accordi<\/em> (masculine plural), <em>previe autorizzazioni<\/em> (feminine plural). If you cannot get the agreement right, paraphrase: <em>dopo aver presentato la ricevuta<\/em>, <em>previa appuntamento<\/em> would be a stylistic disaster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"alcontempo\">Al contempo: at the same time, with weight<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The everyday Italian for &#8220;at the same time&#8221; is <em>allo stesso tempo<\/em> or simply <em>contemporaneamente<\/em>. The literary and editorial Italian is <em>al contempo<\/em>, and as italian temporal connectives go it carries a distinctly editorial weight. It often appears at the start of a sentence or right after a comma, when a writer wants to add a parallel observation without breaking the rhythm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>La sentenza riconosce il danno e, al contempo, riduce sensibilmente l&#8217;importo del risarcimento richiesto.<\/li>\n<li>Il giornalista deve raccontare i fatti e, al contempo, rispettare la presunzione di innocenza dell&#8217;imputato.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"cheat-sheet\">Cheat-sheet: italian temporal connectives by register<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Use this table as a quick reference when you read a text and want to gauge the register of one of the italian temporal connectives at a glance.

For the trickier register choices, the Treccani vocabolario is the best free reference in Italian.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"rank-math-faq\" class=\"rank-math-block\">\n<div class=\"rank-math-list \">\n<div id=\"faq-allorche\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Is allorch\u00e9 still used in modern Italian?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, but mostly in writing. You will find it in essays, in court rulings, in fiction with a slightly literary cadence. In conversation almost no one uses it, and it can sound affected. The Treccani entry confirms it as a formal synonym of quando.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-intanto\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between intanto and frattanto?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>They mean the same thing, meanwhile, but they belong to different registers. Intanto is everyday and works in any context. Frattanto is formal or literary, appropriate in essays, long-form journalism, and fiction. In speech, frattanto would sound bookish.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-previo\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Does previo agree in gender and number?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes. Previo is technically an adjective and agrees with the noun that follows: previo appuntamento, previa presentazione, previ accordi, previe autorizzazioni. If the agreement feels awkward, paraphrase with dopo aver and the infinitive.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-dopodiche\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Can I use dopodich\u00e9 in casual conversation?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Yes, dopodich\u00e9 has no specific register restriction; you can use it in a chat or in a formal letter. Modern usage often gives it a discursive pause flavour, similar to having said that. The only common error is the accent: it must be acute, dopodich\u00e9, never dopodich\u00e8.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-finche\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">Should I always put non after finch\u00e9?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>It depends on the meaning. If finch\u00e9 means as long as (durative), no non. If it means until (terminal), non is the traditional choice, especially in writing with a verb in the future or subjunctive. Modern usage tolerates the absence of non even in until contexts, but careful written Italian still includes it.<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"faq-appena\" class=\"rank-math-list-item\">\n<h3 class=\"rank-math-question \">What is the difference between appena and non appena?<\/h3>\n<div class=\"rank-math-answer \">\n\n<p>Appena means as soon as in any register, including informal. Non appena is slightly more emphatic and more frequent in writing. In legal or literary Italian, non appena often pairs with the trapassato remoto (non appena ebbe firmato).<\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"related\">Related guides<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-pertanto-dunque-ergo-conclusions\/\">Italian Pertanto, Dunque, Ergo: Drawing Conclusions (C1)<\/a>: the conclusive connectives that pair naturally with the temporal ones in formal writing.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-ma-pero-eppure\/\">Italian Ma, Per\u00f2, Eppure: Adversative Conjunctions<\/a>: the contrast counterparts you will need in the same essays where allorch\u00e9 and frattanto appear.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dante-learning.com\/eng\/italian-posto-che-ammesso-che-qualora\/\">Italian Posto Che, Ammesso Che, Qualora: Formal &#8216;If&#8217;<\/a>: the formal hypothetical conjunctions that share the register of previo and allorch\u00e9.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.treccani.it\/enciclopedia\/congiunzioni-temporali_(La-grammatica-italiana)\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Treccani: Congiunzioni temporali<\/a> (institutional reference).<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Italian temporal connectives explained for C1: intanto, frattanto, allorche, previo, finche, non appena.
