Neskoro

Neskoro is a word in several Slavic languages, including Ukrainian and Russian, that generally translates to "late" or "afterwards." It is commonly used in temporal contexts to indicate something happening at a later time than expected or planned. For instance, it can refer to a late arrival, a late appointment, or a task that is being completed past its deadline. The word functions as an adverb or an adjective depending on its grammatical role in a sentence. In Ukrainian, "нескоро" (neskoro) often implies that an event will not happen soon, suggesting a considerable delay. Similarly, in Russian, "нескоро" carries a similar meaning of "not soon" or "after a long time." The precise nuance can vary slightly between dialects and specific phrases, but the core concept remains consistent across these languages. It is a fundamental part of everyday communication, used to express timing and the passage of time.
