today
Not yesterday, not tomorrow
Today is the current day—the one you're in right now: I have a meeting today, today's weather.
It extends to the present time or era: Today's smartphones are more powerful than yesterday's computers.
As a noun, today names this day: Today is my birthday.
The adverb yesterday and tomorrow complete the immediate temporal trio.
