Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was on television with British TV
host Anne Diamond when he used the word "mañana" (pronounced
"manyana").
Diamond asked him to explain what it meant.
He said that the term means "Maybe the job will be done
tomorrow, maybe the next day, maybe the day after that. Or
perhaps next week, next month, next year. Who really cares?"
The host turned to Albert Yatapingu from the Gumbaingeri Tribe
(aboriginal) who was also on the show and asked him if there
was an equivalent term in his native language.
"Eh" he replied. "In Australia we don't have a word to describe
that degree of urgency."
