[BITList] The truth be said

As you know Ena & I  lived 20 years in Spain. The first things I learnt I
Spanish was “ Dos cervezas, Por favour” and “ manana”. When you are just
setting a new apartment up, you get a lot of “manana”  from people.

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."
