What 翌 means
“Next” or “following” in front of a time word.
It builds date words in formal Chinese and Japanese: 翌日 the next day, 翌年 the next year, 翌朝 the next morning.
Its origin is debated; a 2025 study reads the early form as a “day” mark beside a knife.
Written Chinese and Japanese; inside date compounds only.
翌 alone never says which date it follows; pair it with a time word.
