In some languages there is one word for tomorrow and morning, or the words are very similar.
German: Morgen, Morgen Spanish: mañana, mañana in Russian the words are different but have the same "tr", I don't know if they have the same origin: 'zavtra' (tomorrow) and 'utro' (morning). What's interesting, in Polish morning is 'rano' but the word for tomorrow is very close to Russian morning: it's 'jutro'. How does it look like in other languages? What do you think about it? 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Also in English, "tomorrow" and "morning" have the same etymology, according to my dictionary :
- Old E. morgen > morn > morning - Old E. morgen > morwe > morrow > tomorrow And in French, according to my etymological dictionary, "demain" (= "tomorrow") comes from the Vulgar Latin expression "de mane" which originally meant "in the morning". The Italian "domani" has the same origin. Edited by breckes on 20 June 2006 at 6:12pm 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

In the wiktionary entries for tomorrow and morning, I've found such a similarity in the following languages : (first word : "tomorrow", second word : "morning")
Catalan : mati / mat� Serbian, Croatian : sutra / jutro Dutch : morgen / morgen English : tomorrow / morning German : Morgen / Morgen Japanese : �su / �sa Lithuanian : rytojus / Latvian : rīts Norwegian : i morgen / morgen Russian : zavtra / utro Spanish : mañana / mañana Slovene : jutri / jutro Swedish : morgondag / morgon And in Russian, "zavtrak" means "breakfast". I've looked at the Vasmer's etymological dictionary, and if I correctly understand, "zavtra" comes from "za-utra".

Japanese: asa (morning) / asu (tomorrow*)
* formal version The kanji are also similar, but it could all just be a coincidence. 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Swedish: i morgon / morgon, actually Finnish: huomenna / aamu But funnily enough you use the former (ie. the one meaning tomorrow) to say "good morning" : "hyvää huomenta" 1 person has voted this message useful | |||

Another interesting thing to note is that in Russian "rano" means "early". 1 person has voted this message useful | |||
