"Ele veio depois que você saiu."

Translation: He came after you left.

[dan_sundberg]

Would it be wrong to say "he came after you went out"?

[luisetxe]

I have the same question.

[althom40]

is the use of "que" not superfluous? Is it really needed?

[kitsune1977]

Without the "que" it's not the same phrase: "ele veio. depois você saiu"("he came and you left.") With the "que" is like "you just left and he came". Sorry, it's very confuse to me to explain, i hope you understand.

[standelf]

Can you also say: depois de você sair?

[kitsune1977]

yes.

on the pronunciation of 'depois'

I've heard it pronounced 'gepois' can it be pronounced as 'depois' as well?

[Paulenrique]

Well, where I live we pronounce DE like gee at the end of a word or when it is by itself as a preposition (of). The others are normal "de"

[pnehls]

ok, so it's a regional thing, so in words like depressa or demais, I can expect to hear it either way, thank you

What does veio had to do with saw?

[DaveDfromWV]

That would be "viu" (also an irregular preterite form), based on "ver" (to see), not "vir" (to come). I, too, frequently confuse the two.
