E poi...

E poi... is an Italian phrase that translates directly to "And then..." or "And afterwards..." in English. It is a common phrase used to indicate a continuation of a narrative, a sequence of events, or a logical progression in thought.

The phrase is used frequently in both spoken and written Italian to connect ideas, to introduce subsequent points, or to move a conversation or story forward. It can also be used to introduce a consequence or a result of a previous action or statement. The level of formality is generally neutral, making it suitable for everyday conversation as well as more formal writing.

The phrase is typically followed by a pause or a comma, indicating the start of the next element in the sequence. It can be used to introduce single words, phrases, or entire clauses depending on the context. While a literal translation captures the basic meaning, the nuanced usage often depends on the tone and delivery of the speaker or writer.
