Tomorrow morning.

How it's used
This expression is a common, slightly more emphatic way to specify the early part of the following day compared to just saying 聽朝. It emphasizes the morning period specifically, often when coordinating plans or appointments. While 聽朝 is perfectly sufficient for most contexts, adding 早 reinforces the urgency or the specific time frame of the morning.
Examples
I have to work tomorrow morning, so I cannot sleep too late.
What time are you leaving tomorrow morning?
Related words
Common phrases
see you tomorrow morning
Common mistake
Learners often mistakenly combine this with 聽日, resulting in the redundant 聽日聽朝早. Since 聽朝早 already contains the meaning of tomorrow, adding 聽日 is unnecessary and sounds unnatural to native speakers.
