    Usage notes

    • In careful language, 차후 (此後, chahu), which refers to the future from the perspective of the present (the current moment of speech), is to be distinguished from 추후 (追後, chuhu), which refers to a later point from the perspective of some earlier event. The distinction is sometimes not understood by speakers.
