So… / well then — the great Italian sentence-starter.
Opens sentences, gathers attention, buys thinking time, and signals a decision coming. A teacher starting class, a waiter arriving, a friend changing subject — all begin with allora. Drawn out, "allooora…" means someone is stalling.
Reading a definition isn't the same as saying it to someone. Lingo Kaiava is a voice tutor set to Italian — it uses allora the way locals do, corrects you in the moment, and never "fixes" the way real people actually talk into textbook Italian.
