Learning a foreign language gives you a perspective on that language that the native speakers don't have. Some phrases become so ingrained into the language, that their original, literal meaning fades. For instance, saying, "Catch you later!" when departing from someone might be a little confusing or frightening for a foreigner who didn't understand all the intricacies of the verb "to catch", even though the phrase is simply meant to say "goodbye". Even the word "goodbye", in English, French, and Spanish, no longer carries the original "go with God" meaning. And so I turn to the Spanish phrase, "si Dios quiere". It literally means "if God wants", but a more meaningful translation would be "if it be God's will". I've only ever heard it tacked on to the end of "Hasta maana", which means "Until tomorrow" or "See you tomorrow". I've heard it primarily used by Marga's mother and grandfather. So, imagine my thoughts upon hearing it the first few times.
