WHAT DOES Manaña Mean?

This should be fun. I could write a small book about
Manaña.
Than little sign about the N means to
say the N with a Nasal sound
MawNawNa
Manaña literally means tomorrow.
So that Spanish teacher was correct,
but if the teacher only explains to you Manaña means tomorrow.
They are lost. Manaña has lots of meanings.
DEFINITIONS:
Manaña = Tomorrow
Manaña = This morning
Manaña = Bye
Manaña = Goodbye, I will never see you again
Manaña = Goodbye, I hope to see you tomorrow.
Manaña = Sometimes, maybe
Manaña = Maybe
Manaña at 8 in the morning = I will be there between 8 and 12 in the
morning
The word manaña is very confusing for people. This is a
different culture, with different priorities. It is difficult to find a
clock on the wall for the countries between Mexico and Argentina.
In Brazil if you look in a store, there will be a clock on the wall.
TIME is different
The Anglo-Saxon use of time is specific, while
the Latino usage of time if non-specific.
In my opinion when a person says the time in a Latino country
from the Spain origin, it means MORE OR LESS.
It is unfair of you to expect them to change, or be the same
as the Anglo-Saxon version of time.
If you make an appointment, you need to make room for
extra waiting, or do not show up prompt.
If you are always late, this may be heaven for you.
Just for reference you will have the same problem with
TARDE or NOCHE
Have fun! Life is Good!
As always, these are suggestions. Please realize I am
giving guidance, and there are always other opinions.

This way we do not all go to the same place.
