it starts way before you would ever see anything on television or请问这是从句吗？谢谢

Question

it starts way before you would ever see anything on television or hear it on the radio.
请问这是定语从句吗？way 和before 之间是不是有that 被省略了呢？谢谢

Answer 1

我觉得不是定语从句

Way在这里是个表示语气，强调的词 way before就是在XXX很早之前，所以是不用that的

Answer 2

way 和 before 之间没有 省略 that, way before 是个短语，在这个句子里是作为非正式副词修饰动词 starts (开始）， 意思是 很久之前, 同义词是 long before 或 long time before.
例句：
All that happened way before you were born.
这一切都发生久在你出生之前。
