What exactly does "日前" mean?
Today I used the phrase "日前“ with my teacher... I was under the impression that this phrase meant " The other day" or "A few days ago" and in every dictionary or online Chinese website I have found it says that it means this...
My teacher told me today that it doesn't mean that, but it means "Nowadays" exactly like 如今.
I totally believe her, but why does every dictionary and translation site I have found say that the meaning for this is "The other day". eg.. 日前我在商店。(the other day I was at the store)
Does it mean Nowadays, the other day, a few days ago??? I'm confused.
Thanks
