Yesterday
The day before today.
ትላንት ጥሩ ፊልም አየሁ።
Yesterday I watched a good film.
'ትላንት' (tilant) comes from Ge'ez, where it refers to the previous day, reflecting cultural perceptions of time.
'ትላንት' is appropriate in both spoken and written usage, commonly used in day-to-day discussions and education throughout Ethiopia.
