English-speakers, would you favour ...

[Tender Branson]

... to replace the words „the day after tomorrow“ with „übertomorrow“ or „ubertomorrow“ ?

For German speakers it would make sense, because „übermorgen“.

Or would „aftertomorrow“ be better ?

[𝕭𝖆𝖕𝖙𝖎𝖘𝖙𝖆 𝕸𝖎𝖓𝖔𝖑𝖆]

Italian uses literally "aftertomorrow" (dopodomani).
Also we say "the other yesterday" (l'altro ieri) for the day before yesterday.

However they both sound pretty awful in English.

"Übertomorrow" sounds like an apocalyptic future where society is dominated by rideshare corporations

Overmorrow is the English version, but is hardly used. I have heard it said as 'o'ra morra' in Scots a handful of times.

Post-morrow would make the most sense for English speakers imo.

Indeed, and "ereyesterday" is the day before yesterday

[KoopaDaQuick 🇵🇸]

Sure, but there are a whole bunch of features English needs to borrow from other languages, like, say, clusivity in our 1st person plural pronouns and whatnot. But yes, I am an advocate for bringing back overmorrow as an equivalent of übertomorrow or avant-hier.

[T'Chenka]

That's gonna be a "nope" from me dawg.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

There's little need for a word like overmorrow, so it's not surprising its gone from everyday language. Besides "the day after tomorrow" I could just write "Tuesday" since I'm writing this on Sunday.

So, when I was a kid, I had a lot of trouble saying the word "yesterday" for some reason, and defaulted to saying "last day" until I was maybe 6 or so. Sometimes I still catch myself about to say "last day" and have to actually think about what the word for the day before today is. Hence, I would personally prefer a system of: last-last day, last day, today, next day, and next-next day. So if everyone could get on board with that, that'd be grand.
