Today’s Spanish word of the day is “mañana”.
It can be used as a feminine noun meaning “morning”, or as an adverb meaning “tomorrow”. If you want to say “tomorrow morning”, you would say “mañana por la mañana”.
You can also use the word “mañana” to refer to the future in a general sense. Confusingly, when used this way, the word mañana is masculine rather than feminine. Here’s an example:
- El mañana es incierto. – The future is uncertain.
The word “mañana” comes from Latin maneana hora, meaning “early hour”.
