Lo que sera sera license#

With the second 'serГЎ' having no more grammatical function than an echo, in the poetic license that songs can have. To be a question ('What will happen?', 'What do you suppose it is?'), Spanish-speakers have been exposed to this English saying through the song, first sung by Doris Day in 1956 ДЄnd since it is ungrammatical as an assertion in Spanish, they have often reinterpreted it-as Benito81 (#3) does. 'a statement of fact', an assertion that whatever is destined for the future will indeed happen. In contrast, the intended meaning of the English saying 'Que sera sera' is-as xqby (#2) points out. The expressions 'Come what may' and 'Come whatever may come' and 'Pase lo que pase' mean approximately 'regardless of what may happen',ДЄnd their function is adverbial, to modify some other clause (e.g. Will this lead English speakers to become more sensitive to other languages? Che sarГ , sarГ , whatever will be, will be.Regarding the English (yes, not Spanish or Italian) motto 'Que sera sera', you will find more than you wanted to knowД«y consulting the Wikipedia article linked by mvfgrant (#11),ДЄnd additionally by reading the article linked in it. At least weвЂ™re becoming more and more connected as communication becomes easier. ItвЂ™s inevitable really that most English speakers are going to see the world in terms of the English language only, and not consider that it might be just a little arrogant to change other languages whatever way we want. But I think as most English speakers arenвЂ™t regularly exposed to a second language, weвЂ™re more likely to look at an Italian phrase and think, Well, tвЂ™s pretty good, I guess. Not that speakers of other languages donвЂ™t use English in ways that might confuse or infuriate a native speaker. A very English-language thing, if IвЂ™m honest. ItвЂ™s a very monolingual thing to do, I think. To just take a phrase in a language and change it to make it look вЂњbetter,вЂќ more like an image in your head. Still, itвЂ™s an odd thing to do, when you think about it.

The song was made famous in 1956 when it was performed by Doris Day in the Alfred Hitchcock film The Man Who Knew Too Much (a remake of his own earlier film). It looks and sounds like a Romance language, true, but itвЂ™s not actually an example of a grammatically-correct phrase in any language.

So, if itвЂ™s none of those languages, what is it then? And it could also be Ce Qui Sera, Sera, if you take what to be the subject.ДЄgain, close! You could translate it as Que SГ©ra, SГ©ra, but it would be strictly correct to say Lo Que SГ©ra, SГ©ra. It is spelled Que Sera, Sera in French, but the pronunciation of que is quite different, like kuh.

Well, thatвЂ™s closer, but still not quite it. Che sounds like que does in the song, true, but thatвЂ™s the only similarity. No, because that would be Che SarГ , SarГ . And you might know the language the title is in.
