The Other Day
A Few Days Ago, Other Day
noun
The previous day isn't necessarily yesterday. It can be any recent day, which is why this word means the other day.
This is a jukugo word, which usually means on'yomi readings from the kanji. Since 日 has two on'yomi readings, here's a mnemonic to help you remember which one to use:
The other day, you saw two centaurs! Gee, two (せんじつ) of them?! You're lucky you're still alive!
