Today’s Spanish word of the day is “anoche.”
It’s an adverb meaning “last night”.
“Anoche” is used to refer to things that took place during the previous night. For example:
- No pude dormir anoche. – I couldn’t sleep last night.
Unlike in English, where “last night” is a phrase, in Spanish, “anoche” is a single word.
The word “anoche” is thought to come from the Latin phrase ad noctem, maning “toward the night” or “to the night”.
