뜻
The day before today.
문화적 배경
Hungarians often use 'tegnapelőtt' (day before yesterday) much more than English speakers, who might just say 'two days ago'. It's a very precise culture regarding recent history. The phrase 'tegnapra kell' (it's needed for yesterday) is a common, slightly stressful joke in Hungarian offices to indicate a task is extremely urgent. Many famous Hungarian poems use 'tegnap' to contrast the fleeting nature of youth or happiness with the present reality. On Hungarian Instagram, you'll see #tegnap used for photos from the previous night's party, often as a way to extend the social experience.
The '-i' Rule
If you want to say 'yesterday's something', always add '-i'. Tegnap -> Tegnapi.
Tense Match
Never use 'tegnap' with a future tense verb unless you are being very poetic or sarcastic.
