vannacht

Etymology
.

Adverb

 * 1) tonight, this night, the night at the end of the current day
 * 2) last night, the night at the end of the previous day
 * 1) last night, the night at the end of the previous day

Usage notes

 * As in the example sentences, the distinction between the two meanings is through the tense of the verb (past versus non-past). When both the last and the coming nights are mentioned, however, the former will be referred to with the synonym, and  may also be used for the coming night: Gisternacht heb ik niet lekker geslapen, maar deze nacht zal ik dat zeker wel. (“Last night I didn’t sleep well, but this night I surely will.”)
