"one after another"

Post by Matt »

Hi.

How would one say, "one after another/one after the other" such as in the sentence... She eats one plate of food after the other/after another... or she uses one plate one after the other/another?

Do you repeat yourself like "yut diep yut diep" (one plate) twice?
