Hola Shirley"Ya" in this context does not indicate time, as it might in other uses (ya lo sé = I already know). Instead, it stresses the significance of the future event. Its function is "emphatic".It conveys certainty, reassurance, or emphasis about something that will happen in the future. It’s not essential for the meaning of the sentence but adds a layer of confidence or emotional nuance.So it´s like saying "Just wait and see..."I hope this clarified it.Saludos y felices fiestasInma
