A better title for this post would be:
A testament to the connection between language and culture.
-or-
Why I love linguistics.
Spanish --> Dict. Translation --> Real World Significance
Pronto ---> Soon -----------------> Someday in the semi-near future
Ahora ----> Now -----------------> Now-ish, today if you’re lucky
Ahorita --> Immediately --------> Very soon, maybe within ½ hour
Ya --------> Already --------------> Right now
PS. Sorry about the bad formatting... It took a lot to even get it to look like this...
