I hope tomorrow will be sunny.
(lit. “I hope tomorrow the sun is bright”) (qep’a’ 2016)
SEE:
leS days from now (n) (TKD)
cha'leS day after tomorrow (i.e. two days from now)
'opleS one day [i.e. sometime in the future]
(msn.onstage.startrek.expert.Okrand 6/29/1997): {wa'leS po} tomorrow morning, {cha'leS po} the morning of the day after tomorrow (literally "two-days-from-now morning"), and so on work quite nicely.
SEE ALSO:
Hu' days ago (n) (TKD)
wa'Hu' yesterday (one day ago)
cha'Hu' the day before yesterday [two days ago]
wejHu' three days ago
(IMO, HQ 8.3): The words {ret} [period of time ago] and {pIq} [period of time from now] could also be used with days, months, and years (e.g., {wej jaj ret} "three days ago", rather than {wejHu'}, but utterances of these are not particularly common, sound a bit archaic, and are usually restricted to rather formal settings.
