ereyesterday is the day before yesterday. as a german i am used to refer to two days in the past and future without useing weekdays.
They’ve fallen from grace. Probably because it’s been a few centuries since the saxons
The language could use a refresher eh
its actually a real rabit hole to see which cultures use however many days to refer into the future and past. Since the use of unified calenders its been declining. few centuries ago it wasnt unusual to have words for like "five days ago". and some languages actually perserved that!
Dont ask me for specifics tho. its been many moons since i did that deep dive ^^
