Hello! Today’s word is “mañana”. It is an adverb and it means ‘tomorrow’ or ‘an unspecified time in the future’.

It is spelled m – a – n – a – n – a. The first ‘n’ has an enya over it signifying that the ‘n’ will sound like a ‘y’. To repeat – mañana.

The word “mañana” is derived from the Latin word mána, which means ‘morning’.

Some examples of proper phrase or sentence usage includes:

 

  • mañana es fiésta - or tomorrow is a holiday…
  • partieron múy de mañana – or they left early in the morning
  • cerrámos lós sábados pór la mañana - we close on Saturday mornings
  • función de mañana - morning performance, or matinee, depending on the context
  • un mañana inciérto - an uncertain future
  • and, perhaps most famously, ¡hasta mañana! - see you tomorrow!

So, to recap, the word for today was “mañana”, which means ‘tomorrow’ or ‘an unspecified time in the future’.

Well, tune in tomorrow when our new Spanish word of the day will be “canción”.
