To add to that, "ereyesterday" is the noun version for the day before yesterday.
Never saw this one before and not sure how to pronounce it while the German Vorgestern is as commen as Übermorgen.
English on the other hand has fortnight which I think is very cool as we don't have a special word for 14 days
A little off topic but I find these words extremely interesting that have no direct translation as they often give a new perspective on things or concepts.
