The Now

Commonly used in South Africa when you're ARE going to do something, just not anytime soon.



now now
A term widely used in South African conversations relating to the period of time which will elapse before the given task, time or oppotunity will present itself.
"I'm going to do it in a few moments."
"Its going to happen a little later."
As the term is not defined by a specific amount of time,it can be used in a broad context.
Example:
"Let's take a look at it now now."
"I'll see to that now now."
"When ?" "Now now !"


Now Then
A phrase commonly used mainly in Yorkshire!

The highest greeting of welcome you can receive in "God's Own Country"
Example:
Now Then Dave!


now now
a South African term we use that generally means 'soon', but can funnily enough also mean 'never', or actually just any period of time.
Example:
scenario 1:

dad: "come downstairs, theres a rugby match between the Springboks and the Sharks on!"
me: "I will be there now now!"

scenario 2:

jack: "Jill hurry up! when will you be ready?"
Jill: "I'll be ready now now!"


Now then
A phrase commonly used in northern England, it derives from Old Yorkshire dialect.

It is a phrase used for greeting, although it is laregely unknown as to why the terms "now" (meaning this instant) and "then" (meaning in the past) were put together to form another way of simply saying "hello".

Usually pronounced "Nah-then".
Example:
Now then Jack, ya doylum. How ist? Whats tha bin doin with thisen?
