minus-squareDrusas@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoI agree that we should use overmorrow more. Japanese has a similar word and it gets frequent use.
minus-squareMartineski@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up0·2 months agoIn my country we also have a word for that and it’s always used when referring to overmorrow.
minus-squareSuppoze@beehaw.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up0·2 months agoHungarian as well. Tomorrow = holnap, overmorrow = holnapután. You can also stack the ”után" if you so wish, like holnapután-után. But more than that and you will get some curious looks from others :)
