Usage notes
edit- Despite appearing masculine, the word is often feminine when definite. For example, it can be used with a feminine determiner like هديك اليوم (hadīk l-yōm, “that day”) instead of a masculine one like هيداك اليوم (haydāk l-yom, “that day”), and it can appear as يومتـ (yawmit-, yōmit-) in the construct state.
