erste

Etymology
From, from , from.

Adjective

 * 1)  first

Adverb

 * 1) not before, not until then, only not earlier than, for the first time

Usage notes
* ne ante cannot be used in place of erste, since *ne ante would be a preposition just like, not an adverb. "Me venos *ne ante morge" would be totally gibberish since the *ne ante would effect the adverb (morge), not the verb (venos). Instead, one could use "Me venos morge, ne ante", which would be correct.
