minus-squareladicius@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up11·3 months agoÜbermorgen, the german word for overmorrow, is in abundant use in Germany. It’s far from obsolete or obscure over here.
minus-squarezout@fedia.iolinkfedilinkarrow-up5·3 months agoSame for overmogen in the Netherlands. And eergisteren for the day before yesterday.
minus-squarePolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoIn Poland it’s “pojutrze” - after tomorrow, and “przedwczoraj” - before yesterday (those are also literal translations just as i wrote). Also in common and constant usage.
minus-squarebeerclue@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 months agoSame for the Romanian “poimâine” (after tomorrow). We also have “alaltăieri” (the other yesterday). They are in use, quite common.
