Like the Latin American’ahorita’.
Hora- hour, or the time of day.
Ahora- now, nowadays.
Ahora mismo- this very moment.
Ahorita- diminutive now,this moment, in a moment, when I get to it, I intend to do it soon but might forget.
Ahorita ahorita- usually a commanding right now.Mum: Do your homework.
Child playing videogames: Yep I’ll do it ahorita.
Mum, moving in front of tv and pointing to desk: You’ll do it ahorita ahorita.
Reminds me of the South African variations of "now".
