To native and not so native Italian speakers: what does allora mean?

1) THEN

Se non l'hai ancora capito, allora non c'è speranza -> If you still haven't got it, then there's no hope left.

2) SO

Allora... -> So... (when starting something)

Allora, che facciamo? -> So, what shall we do?

3) BACK THEN (when you have already introduced the temporal context)

Nel medioevo le malattie si diffondevano facilmente. Allora la gente non si lavava col sapone. -> During the middle ages deseases spread easily. Back then people didn't use soap to wash theirselves.

4) COME ON! (especially to someone doing something slowly or repetitive and annoying)

Allora! Sbrigati -> Come on! Hurry up!

Allora?! Smettila! -> Stop it!

Thanks

arrivo is the present simple of the first singular person ( I ) arrivino is the 3rd plural person. It's a kind of present (I don't remember what's exactly) and It's used when the action is not sure: They left at 3 o'clock and i think they will arrive at 6 o'clock (Sono partiti alle 3 e penso che arrivino alle 6)

it means :then, or so:

as in:

say you are showing a person a house you are trying to seel:

you´d close with:allora,vi piace? "so,do you like it?"

or:

you finished eating at a restorant,you tell your friends:

allora,andiamo? or: should we go then?

or

do we go to the movies or the park:

allora,andiamo al cinema o al parco?

so now i ask you:

allora,did you get it?

hope to have helped!
