👋Доброе утро, товарищи!

Позже 🆚️ попозже 🆚️ потом

🔻These adverbs all relate to time in the future and can be translated as later.

🔢 Позже
[po-zhe]
Later

🔻This is the most general and neutral term, simply meaning "later." It doesn't specify how much later:

• Я приду позже.
I'll come later.

🔢 Попозже
[pa-po-zhe]
А bit later

🔻This word adds the nuance of a little later, soon, or in a short while. It implies a shorter delay than позже. Think of the ПО- prefix as meaning a little:

• Я позвоню тебе попозже.
I'll call you a little later.

🔢 Потом
[pа-tom]
Аfterwards, eventually

🔻This word implies a less definite, more distant future. It suggests something will happen after something else, but the exact time isn't specified:

• Сделаем это потом.
Let's do it afterwards/later.

• Родиться в рубашке (perf.)
[rа-di-tsa v ru-bash-ke]
SLT: To be born in a shirt

Meaning:
This idiom describes someone incredibly lucky, someone who always escapes danger or difficult situations unscathed.

English Equivalent: 
To be born under a lucky star, born with a silver spoon in one's mouth

Etymology:
The expression likely originates from the belief that babies born enveloped in the amniotic sac (the "shirt") were especially protected and destined for good fortune. 

Example:
• Ей чудом удалось остаться целой в этой аварии. Она родилась в рубашке!
She miraculously survived that accident. She was born with a silver spoon in her mouth!
