Bizarre language find of the day: one of my favourite words, overmorrow(the day after tomorrow), has no equivalent undermorrow (the day before yesterday).

@yorrike that word has a nice ring to it.

@yorrike I had never heard overmorrow before! Curiously in Portuguese we have the opposite situation. We have “anteontem” (the day before yesterday), but “depois de amanhã”, literally “after tomorrow” 🙂

@yorrike demain is tomorrow, but « le lendemain » is « the next day » or « the day after ». Surlendemain is « sur lendemain » (over the next day) and « surlen » means nothing.

@jokef Thank you. I guess you can only break words down so far before you’re left with rubbish : )
