"Mi parlerà appena finisce di mangiare."

Translation: He will talk to me as soon as he finishes eating.

[wenhama]

Why not she. What makes it he?

[alanvoe]

Both meanings are valid.

[BartS1965]

what is wrong with … when he finishes eating… pfffffffffffff!?

[alanvoe]

"as soon as " implies an immediacy which does not exist in "when".

[Vikiname]

Why it is incorrect "She will talk with me just when she finishes to eat"

[t_s_c]

You can't say "finishes + to ...". You have to say "finishes +ing".

[alanvoe]

The verb tense of "finire" is incorrect in this Italian sentence. As "finire mangiare" is an action which takes place before the future action "parlare", "finire" should use the "futuro anteriore" tense, not "presente": Mi parlerà appena avrà finito de mangiare. Please report it.

[sapolion]

In this context does "as soon as" mean the same as "after"? I didn't complain about it because it seems that °as soon as" is probably a better translation and I have no idea what the effect of using °dopo° instead of "appena" would sound like to an Italian.

[thesoph33]

"as soon as" means immediately after. "After" alone means any time later (within reason)

[matthieuP]

But wouldn't "right after" be a correct translation? Is there a problem with "She will talk to me right after she finishes eating"? I hesitated to report it as I'm not an english native speaker.

[thesoph33]

"Right after" sounds fine to me. Perhaps it's not recognised yet by DL as it's quite informal

[STUckSTUdent]

"Right after" works in American English, but sounds awkward in English English.

"He will tell me as soon as he finishes eating." What's wrong with this translation?

[Jan534792]

'Tell' and 'talk' have slightly different meanings.

[Nonna602151]

...and still and forever, di and da...!!!

[PeterHunt10]

Shouldn't 'finisce' be 'finirà' ?

[alanvoe]

It should be "avrà finito". Reference: https://italian.stackexchange.com/questions/10976/future-dependent-actions-verb-tense

Montalbano!

[Bill98991]

I was always taught that it is more polite to say "talk with" rather than "talk to".

[RobertW878351]

The English should be "he will speak to me as soon as he has finished eating"

[Gigi563443]

It's ridiculous, "He'll" was not accepted

[chey24chey24]

I said speak....wjats wtong with that?

[Ben_languages]

Why not ends instead of finishes?
