Usage notes
- While ܬܸܡܵܠ (timmāl) traditionally and technically means yesterday, in many colloquial Assyrian Neo-Aramaic dialects it can mean both yesterday and tomorrow; this is the suggested word for yesterday in Iraqi Koine, with ܩܘܼܕܡܹܐ (qudmē) or ܡܚܵܪ (mḥār) being for tomorrow.
- In such dialects, the phrases ܬܸܡܵܠ ܕܥܒ݂ܝܼܪܹܗ (timmāl dˁḇīrēh, literally “yesterday that passed”) and ܬܸܡܵܠ ܕܐܵܬܹܐ (timmāl d-ātē, literally “yesterday that will come”) are used to disambiguate
