English term

immanently

English to Arabic Bus/Financial Management
Phrase:
".. As for the new manager, we expect to make an announcement immanently."

does it mean that the new manager will be from within the corporation? or that the candidate will be chosen by the speaker (who is stating the above)?!

قريباً

The word is misspelled. It should be "imminently," which means, "soon."

Four adjectives (and their assoiciated adverbs) are commonly confused:

1. imminent: about to happen

2. immanent: inherent, intrinsic, or intramental (used in metaphysics)

3 eminent: distinguished or outstanding (e.g., \"an eminent scholar\")

4. emanant: produced forth, especially by way of generation.

As follows:

"immanently" is describing the verb, and not the new manager.

I think that the speaker meant to say \"immediately\" instead of \"immanently\"
Peer comment(s):

agree Awad Balaish : That is true an adverb describes verb not a noun, it is a rule..
