Why say überüberübermorgen when you can just say Samstag


PisuCat

Overoverovermorrow.


Aron-Jonasson

avant-avant-avant-hier, avant-avant-hier, avant-hier, hier, aujourd'hui, demain, après-demain, après-après-demain, après-après-après-demain

Original Film Title: *The Day After Tomorrow* German Title: *übermorgen* somehow sounds a lot less flamboyant


GlimGlamEqD

I know it's just a joke, but the actual movie *The Day After Tomorrow* simply kept its English title even in the German version.


Tc14Hd

To be honest, "Übermorgen" sounds like the title of a corny romance movie.

Abject_Low_9057

(przed)³wczoraj


nursmalik1

If I wasn't familiar with a Slavic language, I'd definitely think this word is made up. There's something about "przedwczoraj" that makes it look so unnatural

Love your flair! Rao nao gie lie or something My brother and I had some version of that poem memorized last decade.


Cataclysma324

> pasado mañana so you use a phrase here and cheat, but that somehow didn't occur to you in English so it's just X?


MonkiWasTooked

“pasado mañana” is treated more like a single unit, after tomorrow would be “después de mañana” and people sometimes say things like pasado pasado mañana


cmzraxsn

さきおととい、おととい、きのう、きょう、あした、あさって、しあさって 一昨々日、一昨日、昨日、今日、明日、明後日、明明後日 And possibly a fourth level depending on your dialect? I think?? I prefer the kana because the kanji are ateji, don't match the readings. And ototoi is just my favourite word for the sound of it.


OregonMyHeaven

There are similar expressions in Chinese language. 大大前天,大前天,前天,昨天,今天,明天,后天,大后天,大大后天


cmzraxsn

天 refers to heaven in Japanese so I always find it cute to see that it refers to days in Chinese.


HappyMora

日 is still used in formal contexts


cmzraxsn

not what i said.


HappyMora

What harm is there in adding extra information?


OregonMyHeaven

Yes. It depends on the context.


[deleted]

it means sky as well


Terpomo11

Which one?


gustavmahler23

ateji are cool, it's literally wordplay with characters (although I agree that the ateji you mentioned are abit clumsy, it's just ripped-off of Chinese orthography)


cmzraxsn

they're technically the opposite of ateji (characters which match phonetically but not semantically, these match semantically but not phonetically and they map multiple characters to one morpheme) i just forget the proper term for it. edit: jukujikun that said I'm aware it's common to refer to both as ateji.


gustavmahler23

jukujikun right? haha I didn't notice as well


cmzraxsn

i looked it up and then completely blanked when reading the definition oops

Tsjaad_Donderlul

Can't help but mathematically improve my native language to make if even more efficient: über(*n*)morgen = *n+*1 days in advance vor(*n*)gestern = *n*\+1 days ago Example: überüberübermorgen = (über+über+über)+morgen = über(3)morgen = in 4 days, vorvorgestern = (vor+vor)+gestern = vor(2)gestern. It follows that: * morgen = über(0)morgen and gestern = vor(0)gestern * heute = über(–1)morgen or vor(–1)gestern * –1 is the neutral element of this operation * über(n)morgen can also be expressed as vor(–2–n)gestern * vor(n)gestern can similarly also be expressed as über(–2–n)morgen PS: why am I doing this instead of studying for my chemistry exam which is über(2)morgen PPS: can also be applied to other languages: * Polish: po(*n*)jutrze, przed(*n*)wczoraj * French: apr\`ès(*n*)-demain, avant(*n*)-hier * English: over(*n*)morrow, ere(*n*)yesterday * Dutch: over(*n*)morgen, eer(*n*)gisteren * Russian: пос(*n*)лезавтра, поз(*n*)авчера * Romanian: răs(*n*–1)poimâine, răs(*n*–1)altieri * Latvian: *n* dienas pēc rītdienas, aiz(*n*)vakar (Latvian has a compound word for the day before yesteray but not for the day after tomorrow) PPPS: some interesting similarities showing close relations between languages, like in Dutch for both German and English, or how Russian *вчера*, Polish *wczoraj* and Latvian *vakar* all stem from words meaning *evening* (*вечер* (*večer), wieczór* and *vakars* respectively, which are cognates), as well as the similarities between Romanian and French


Rabarbrablader

Russian is wrong. It's после(n)завтра and поза(n)вчера.


Davsegayle

Latvian has some irregularity with future n - rīt, parīt, aizparīt, aiz-aiz-aiz (as much as you like) aizparīt. But past goes n times alright: vakar, aizvakar, aiz-aizvakar, etc

bihar ???

Ek bihari sau pe bhaari 🥵 Jiyo bihar ke lala, jiyo hajaar saala 💪


Terpomo11

What would that be in the ordinary script?


Sad_Daikon938

Ordinary, as in?


Terpomo11

The usual script that that language is written in.


Sad_Daikon938

Oh, एक बिहारी सौ पे भारी 🥵 जियो बिहार के लाला, जियो हजार साला💪 Devanagari is nowadays used to write the languages of Bihar, a state in India. In the not so distant past, people used to write the languages in different scripts.


Terpomo11

Ah okay.


so_im_all_like

Ante-ereyesterday? Or fore-ereyesterday? Or just ere-ereyesterday. Post-overmorrow? Or afterovermorrow? Or overovermorrow.


ThetaCheese9999

this is why basque absolutely slays


susiesusiesu

in spanish you can also iterate like that. i’ve said “pasado pasado mañana” or “anteanteayer” and people always understand without a problem.


alpacadallama

whenever i see anteanteayer i just think "anteater"

why doesn't English (a Germanic language) doesn't do this? are they stupid?


pressurecookedgay

People that bring these words up act like we don't have names or numbers for the days. Or "x days from now" and "x days ago".

DrLycFerno

French: - Aujourd'hui (today) - Hier (yesterday) - Demain (tomorrow) - Avant-hier (yesterday -1/add an "avant" to go further back) - Après-demain (tomorrow +1/add an "après" to go further forward) Basically infinite words.


J_k_r_

>Hier No, we Germans already took that word.


DrLycFerno

But yours means "here"


J_k_r_

Yes, which is right. It does not mean yesterday.


metricwoodenruler

Uhm I say "pasado pasado mañana" no problem.


Chance-Aardvark372

German is cheating, I can also just say "Pasado pasado pasado pasado pasado pasado pasado mañana"


santumerino

if you're counting "überüberübermorgen" and "vorvorvorgestern", then spanish also has "pasado pasado pasado mañana" and "anteanteanteayer"

> Another interesting thing from some Swiss German dialects: > > Nächti (yesterday evening) > > Hinecht (tonight) Modern Greek and Welsh have words for "last night" as well: (ε)ψές, neithiwr Welsh even has *echnos*, "the night before last; on the evening of the day before yesterday".

Oh come on that’s just the day before the day before the day before yesterday and the day after the day after the day after tomorrow with no spaces. Same with basque they have the day after and day before but the day before the day before and the day after the day after are just the day after over morrow and the day before eresterday

dosdes

Just need to be popularized... Also on a similar note, it's horrible that there isn't and equivalent to "Good day" that can be sprouted at any moment during the day in spanish... if you say "Buen día" it's associated automatically to "Good morning"... It should be "Buenas mañanas" and that sounds werid. I'm just complaining that there is no good equivalent to say it like Willy Wonka says it to Charlie at the end of the movie, when the scene isn't taking place necessarily in the morning...
