Etymology 2

From the same source as rīts, perhaps originally as the adverbial form of a related adjective. The meaning changed from “in the (following) morning” to “tomorrow” (cf. a similar case in Spanish mañana).[1]

Pronunciation
  • IPA(key): [rîːt]

Adverb

rīt

  1. tomorrow (in the day after today)
    rīt no rīta ― tomorrow morning
    mans atvaļinājums ir beidzies... rīt atkal jābūt darbā ― my vacation is over... tomorrow (I) will have to be at work again
    kad Lita rīt atvērs acis, vectēvs un tēvs būs tālu jūrā ― when Lita opens her eyes tomorrow, grandfather and father will be far away at sea
  2. (by extension) in the near future
    stiprāki pamati, drošāki tilti, straujākas mašīnas jārada rīt! ― stronger fundaments, safer bridges, faster machines must be created tomorrow!
Usage notes

Rīt is an adverb, meaning “tomorrow,” whereas rītdiena is a noun, meaning “(the day of) tomorrow.” Rīts, on the other hand, is a noun, meaning “morning.” The corresponding locative rītā can mean both “in the morning” (more frequently: no rīta) and “tomorrow” (more frequently: rīt).
