No hay más mañanas en el futuro. - ray76, Feb 5, 2016

Pero, en inglés si - mojac, Feb 5, 2016

En inglés manana no significa "tomorrow" o "morning"! - mojac, Feb 5, 2016

Answer 1

To me, used in English (American English), the word mañana, said as manyana (with a varying degree of attempt at a hispanic accent) and probably recognized by most people I know as a direct take from Spanish and understood as such as the word for tomorrow, means I will do it later/another day (not now, some other day, whatever, don’t hold your breath waiting).

So my question is- how best to express that in Spanish? - mojac, Feb 5, 2016

That I don't know, I just wanted to make the context clear for any native Spanish speakers that might not understand exactly what was being meant. :) - bosquederoble, Feb 5, 2016

In Spanish you just say mñama. the rest is taken for granted. Mañana , a primera hora, I now regard as meaning never. - annierats, Feb 5, 2016

That is what I figured, which is why we took it to mean the same thing. :D - bosquederoble, Feb 5, 2016

Answer 2

In English we occasionally use the Spanish word mañana to convey ' sometime in the future, probably not tomorrow'. It is a concept that has been taken from the sort of more relaxed time-keeping in Spain. I suppose we would otherwise just say : I'll do it tomorrow, or sometime soon. I don't know if this helps you?

In English it means ," something which will never happen" . or something put off indefinitely. - ray76, Feb 6, 2016

Answer 3

If you mean the English word "manana" and not the Spanish word "mañana, then "manana", according to Collins English dictionary means " the second step on the path to knowledge in Yoga meditation". Is this what you are looking for?
