- Well, since it is now Shabbat, you are obligated to say ma`ariv. Of
- course, you haven't yet said mincha, so you've missed it. You'll have
- to make it up by saying two amidahs at ma`ariv, provided it was an
- unintentional delay. (If it was deliberate, then you can't even make
- it up.)
-
- Okay, so you're ready to say the ma`ariv amidah twice. The weekday
- one is not appropriate. Even if you chose to say the regular brakhot
- of the weekday amidah (assuming it's okay), you'd still have to mention
- Shabbat with the appropriate additions. Hence, you may not be able
- to say a vanilla minchah.
