How it is used
- In the future / someday later - 日后再说 (rìhòu zài shuō) talk about it later, 日后必有用处 (rìhòu bì yǒu yòngchù) will be useful someday.
- Refers to some unspecified future time after now; slightly formal.
- Contrast 以后 (yǐhòu, after/later, everyday); 日后 leans literary and points further ahead.
