Kallh (ਕੱਲ੍ਹ), pronounced kullh with a doubled l, is the Punjabi word for the day next to today. With a future verb it means tomorrow, and with a past verb it means yesterday. The verb in the sentence, not the word itself, tells you which direction from today is meant. ## Meaning English needs two different words where Punjabi uses one. Kallh simply marks a distance of one day from today, in either direction. That is why a dictionary list gives kallh for tomorrow, while a past tense example in a translation guide uses the same word for yesterday. The system is economical once you see it: ajj is today, and kallh is one step away from ajj, forwards or backwards. ## How can one word mean both tomorrow and yesterday? The verb does the pointing. When the verb is in a future form, kallh looks ahead: a sentence about going to school kallh is about tomorrow, as a worked translation example shows. When the verb is in a past form, kallh looks back: a sentence about someone coming here kallh is about yesterday, as another tense example shows. Punjabi listeners read the verb first and never feel the ambiguity that surprises English speakers. ## How do you say tomorrow in Punjabi? Tomorrow in Punjabi is kallh (ਕੱਲ੍ਹ), used with a future verb. Yesterday is also kallh, used with a past verb. Learning the pair together with ajj for today gives a learner the three points of everyday time talk: the day before, this day, and the day after. ## How is kallh used in a sentence? You can say: ਕੱਲ੍ਹ with a will form of the verb for a plan tomorrow, and ਕੱਲ੍ਹ with a past form for something that happened yesterday. More examples are given below on this page, with the verb form doing the pointing in each one. ## Related words [ਅੱਜajjtoday](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/ajj/)[ਦਿਨdinDay](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/din/)[ਸਵੇਰੇsavereIn the morning](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/savere/) Sources (3) 1.
