It is better to do something late than never.
文化的背景
Italians value social connection over strict timekeeping. This phrase is a staple of their forgiving social nature. Similar to Italy, Spanish culture is relaxed about time. The phrase is used identically. Germans are known for punctuality, so this phrase is used more as a rare exception than a daily habit. In the US, this is used frequently in business to acknowledge missed deadlines while trying to maintain professionalism.
