How it's used

Functions as both a specific reference to the following day and a vague way to defer plans. When used to mean another day, it often carries a polite but dismissive tone, implying that the speaker is not interested in doing something right now. It is far more common in daily speech than the formal term 翌日.

Examples

dai6第ji6二jat6日zoi3再king1傾laa1啦，ngo5我ji4而gaa1家hou2好mong4忙。

Let's talk another day, I am very busy right now.

nei5你dai6第ji6二jat6日hai6係mai6咪jiu3要faan1返gung1工aa4呀？

Do you have to go to work the next day?

Common phrases

dai6第ji6二jat6日ziu1朝zou2早

the next morning

Common mistake

Avoid using this to mean two days later, as it specifically refers to the next day or an unspecified future date. If you mean two days after today, use 後日 instead.
