改日

• 拼音: gǎi rì
• 汉字拆解: 改 = 己 + 攴 (change, alter); 日 = sun → day

含义

Another day; some other time; at a later date. Used to politely postpone a plan, appointment, or commitment.

A polite and moderately formal way to suggest rescheduling or meeting on another occasion. Slightly more restrained and literary than the colloquial 改天 (another day). Common in formal correspondence, professional settings, and polite conversation. Often used in the pattern 改日再… (let's… another day) or 改日登门拜访 (I'll pay a visit another day). Signals deferral without specifying a new date.

例句

1. 今日事务繁忙，实在抽不开身，恳请您谅解，改日再登门拜访，当面致谢。
2. 会议临时推迟，具体改期时间将另行通知，烦请各位改日留意相关日程安排。
3. 这个话题较为复杂，改日找个合适的场合仔细探讨，今天先聊到这里吧。
