Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was on television with British TV host
Anne Diamond when he used the word 'manana'. Diamond asked him to
explain what it meant. He said that the term means "maybe the job
will be done to-morrow, maybe the next day, maybe the day after
that. Perhaps next week, next month, next year. Who cares?" The host
turned to Irishman Shay Brennan who was also on the show and asked
him if there was an equivalent term in Irish. "No. In Ireland we
don't have a word to describe that degree of urgency.", replied
Brennan. |
