- Flying car — A hybrid experimental or conceptual vehicle designed to operate both as an automobile on public roads and as an aircraft on airways, utilizing foldable or retractable wings and a mixed propulsion system. This advanced technological concept aims to relieve terrestrial traffic congestion by integrating daily commuting into controlled airspace.
- In the past — At another temporal point, either located in the distant or indefinite past (once, in olden times) or placed in an uncertain future (on a subsequent occasion). This temporal operator serves as a dissociative anchoring point, removing the utterance from the strict coordinates of the immediate present and placing it within an alternative chronological horizon.
- Anteromania — Rare mental disorder or behavioral fixation manifested by a pathological obsession with the future, compulsive planning of upcoming events, and the conscious or unconscious refusal to live in the present. In older clinical terms, it described a specific mental agitation where patients projected their entire existence into future scenarios.
- Anticipatory — Based on anticipation, relating to an action or state that occurs in advance or prefigures a future event; predictive. In psychology and economics, it describes a future-oriented behavior, algorithm, or control mechanism structurally designed to correct errors or adjust decisions before negative effects actually manifest.
- Augur — An official priest in Ancient Rome tasked with interpreting the will of the gods and predicting the future based on the flight and songs of birds or celestial events. In a modern figurative sense, it describes a person who makes predictions, or a sign from which future events are deduced.
- To augur — To foretell, predict, or anticipate how a future event will unfold based on current signs, clues, or circumstances; to be the precursor of a state of affairs. Frequently used in journalistic and literary language to indicate a favorable or unfavorable evolution.
- Auguring — The act of auguring and its result; the process of foretelling, predicting, or anticipating the evolution of a future event based on current clues. In literary or journalistic analyses, it represents the formulation of a prognosis or the interpretation of precursor signs.
- Predicted — Foretold, predicted, or anticipated based on external signs or circumstances. It is usually used to describe a future, destiny, or outcome that has already been foreshadowed through previously interpreted clues.
- Augury — A sign, token, or manifestation from which the future course of an event can be anticipated, predicted, or deduced; an omen. In a historical-mythological context, it represents the answer or interpretation provided by a priest following ritualistic observation.
- Any day now — A popular temporal adverbial phrase used to indicate an extremely near, imminent, or probable future; soon, from one day to another, at any moment. This structure combines through juxtaposition the deictic adverbs 'azi' (today) and 'mâine' (tomorrow) to emphasize the speed at which time passes or the certainty of an event occurring, functioning as a fluid conceptual reference in daily communication.
