hoy
/ˈoi/ · A1 · adv
today, tonight (on the current day)
📅 hoy = Latin hodie, hoc die: on this day. The h is silent, so say oy.
Latin hoc die (on this day) shrank to hodie, then to Spanish hoy. Italian oggi and Portuguese hoje are the same word. Sound hook: Oy, it is due today! The h is never pronounced.
