Tener prisa

To be in a hurry

意思

To feel rushed or to need to do something quickly.

🌍

文化背景

In Spain, 'tener prisa' is often contrasted with the 'sobremesa' (the long conversation after a meal). If you have 'prisa' during a sobremesa, it's polite to apologize profusely for breaking the social flow. While 'tener prisa' is understood, you will hear 'andar apurado' or 'estar apurado' much more frequently in daily Mexican Spanish. Argentines often use the expression 'estar a las corridas' to describe a day full of 'prisa'. It literally means 'to be at the runs'. In Colombia, especially in Medellín, people might use 'tener afán'. 'Afán' is a very common synonym for 'prisa' in this region.
