How to Understand
昨天
Yesterday refers to the day before today. It is commonly used to describe events or actions that occurred on the previous day.
The character 昨 (zuó) means 'past' or 'previous,' and 天 (tiān) means 'day.' Together, they form a compound word meaning 'yesterday.' This structure is typical in Chinese for time-related expressions.
Yesterday is frequently used in daily conversations, such as discussing past events, planning, or reflecting on what happened. It is also used in phrases like 昨天晚上 (zuó tiān wǎnshang), meaning 'last night,' or 昨天天气 (zuó tiān tiānqì), meaning 'yesterday's weather.'
