Why do all dictionaries seem to be unable to find a synonym or usage for the adverb imminently How can we explain the vocabulary to non-English speakers?
Imminently* does not have an exact synonym. There are other phrases that can be used to convey the same denotation, although they will not necessarily have all the same connotations. However, in explaining the vocabulary to a non-English speaker, a longer description can be used to describe it. You could try momentarily, or say that it means something that is ready to happen.
In the sense of being about to happen, a synonym of imminently is immediately. And although the word soon is imprecise, imminently can often mean very soon.
(* not to be confused with immanently, or inherently, with the informal synonym "indwellingly".)
