Spanish singer Julio Iglesias was on television with British TV host Anne Diamond when he used the word '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. 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.

The Moroccans have the same word:; in sh'allah, which, of curse, means "God willing".
They not only use it like "manyana" but they apply it to anything they do, like walking actross the street without looking, passing a truck on a hill or with no visibility, driving a moped down a street but in the opposite direction........the list is VERY long.
