danes, včeraj, jutri
Locating Events in Time
Danes, včeraj and jutri mean today, yesterday and tomorrow.
How It Works
Danes, včeraj and jutri mean today, yesterday and tomorrow. They provide a time reference but do not replace the verb forms needed to express past or future.
Use danes with a present situation, včeraj with a past situation and jutri with a future situation in first practice. Real discourse can shift time reference, so these adverbs are clues rather than mechanical tense switches.
Examples (3)
- Danes delam.
