chiar maine
Non-PRO (1): Éva Szilágyi
When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.
Proposed translations
as early as tomorrow
precisely/exactly tomorrow
no later than tomorrow
(here) "chiar maine" meaning that the queen is anxious to see the person.
though/but it must be tomorrow
To say exactly or precisely tomorrow means nothing in UK English.

I think it may be difficult to understand the reason for this way of expressing the idea if you are not a native in English. If this is the case, I would say that the idea of "though" or "but" here is in the elimination of any other time. i.e. to say one is coming/going to the palace without an other explanation does not limit one in terms of when this would be - so, to say "tomorrow though" or "but it must be tomorrow", limits the possibilities of this event through the use of "but" or "though".

: It's actually the source text that's difficult to understand. "chiar mâine" could also mean "as early as tomorrow" or "tomorrow, of all days" .

Maybe, but I would say that the source text is pretty ambiguous.

Florin Ular
: It sounds like a condition (i.e. I will only see you tomorrow, no other day), which is not the case in this context, where "chiar mâine" refers to "as early as tomorrow" (e.g. We may announce the winner as early as tomorrow")
