Achterna

Achterna is a Dutch word that translates to "after" or "behind" in English. It is used to indicate a position or time that follows another. In spatial terms, achterna can describe something that is located behind or following something else. For example, "De hond loopt achterna" means "The dog is running behind" or "The dog is following."

In temporal terms, achterna can refer to something that happens after another event or time. For instance, "Ik ga achterna" means "I will go after" or "I will follow." This usage is similar to the English phrase "after that" or "afterwards."

Achterna can also be used in a figurative sense to describe a person who is following or imitating someone else's actions or behavior. For example, "Hij is altijd achterna" means "He is always following" or "He is always imitating."

The word achterna is derived from the Dutch word achter, which means "behind," and the suffix -na, which indicates direction or movement. It is commonly used in everyday conversation and writing in the Dutch language.
