🌍

文化背景

In Spain, 'tener prisa' is often used as a polite way to end a conversation in the street, which can otherwise last a long time. In Mexico City, 'tener prisa' is a constant state due to traffic. People often say 'voy a las carreras' (I'm going at the races) as a synonym. In Buenos Aires, people might say 'estoy a mil' (I'm at a thousand) to express an extreme version of 'tengo prisa'. The concept of 'mañana' is often contrasted with 'tener prisa'. While 'mañana' implies a relaxed pace, 'tengo prisa' is the necessary counter-phrase for business.

💡

⚠️

Don't use 'Ser'
