à + le + jour + de + hui ?
If I understand it right, then
à + le + jour + de + hui = aujourd'hui ("on the day of today"). I also know that in Spanish "today" is "hoy", in Latin - "hodie".
Well, I have some question about that:
-1) why you use that long version "aujourd`hui" instead of short one - "hui" (if you know some historical or etymological aspects - I`d be glad to learn them)
-2) do you use in your everyday life a simple short form "hui" - may be in colloquial language or, vice versa, in bookish or legal style?

Bonjour,
il existe des synonymes pour dire aujourd'hui: ce jour, dans la journée,...
Concernant ta deuxième question: non, nous n'utilisons pas le mot "hui" de manière quotidienne. Ce mot seul, ne veut rien dire utilisé seul.
---
There's some other words to say today: that's day, in the day...
By the way, for your second question: NO, we never use daily this word. Because, when you use this word alone: it means nothing.
(I hope to be clear)
