EN: the day after tomorrow; in a few days
The official deadline for things you keep procrastinating. "I'll do it bukas-makalawa" is the slightly more committed version of "I'll do it tomorrow," but let's be real, it's probably not happening then either. It's the 'mañana' habit, but stretched over a couple of days.
From `bukas` (tomorrow) and `makalawa` (after two days, a variant). Literally "tomorrow-after-two-days," but used to mean "the day after tomorrow" or more vaguely "in the near future."
ROOT MEANING: tomorrow
While it literally means "the day after tomorrow", it's often used more loosely to mean "in a few days" or "sometime soon."
