Talk:mañana

English(?) def #2 is usually one or two days, right? But, shouldn't that be listed under the ==Spanish== language heading? --Connel MacKenzie T C 08:01, 19 June 2006 (UTC)


 * I was surprised too when I first spotted this in my 1997 print of the the SOED. It's also in the online AHD, Collins, Encarta, and M-W. They all seem to list "at an indefinite time in the future" and most also list "tomorrow". Some list only adverb, some also list noun. &mdash; Hippietrail 02:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)


 * This is probably more a UK usage. We use it especially to say in a satirical sense 'sometime in the unspecified future, despite the fact that we were told tomorrow without fail'. I'm going to add it with that meaning. Algrif 12:41, 12 June 2007 (UTC)

This word also means in the morning.

English "Mañana" example phrase and descriptor
I think this word may need to have a (derogatory) connotation esp matched with the example phrase. It may seem humorous, but it could also be construed as a racially insensitive comment to foreign laborers. I may be nitpicking here, but I do think at this point it would need some other description that just humorous to depict its negative connotation. Duncecap1979 (talk) 20:42, 15 March 2024 (UTC)
