Tips to Remember the Russian Word:
– Visualize a calendar, focusing on the day before today. Associate that day with "вчера" (včera).
– Think of the English word "watches" (which has a "ch" sound similar to "č" in "včera") to remind yourself of the concept of time and looking back.

Explanations:
– "Вчера" (včera) is an adverb in Russian used to denote the day before today.

Other Words that Mean the Same Thing:
– "На кануне" (na kanune) can also mean "the day before" in some contexts but isn’t a direct substitute for "вчера".

Alternate Meanings Like Slang:
– "Вчерашний день" (včerašnij den') is a phrase sometimes used metaphorically to indicate something outdated or old-fashioned.

Examples of Sentences that Use It:
1. Я вчера был в кино. (Ja včera byl v kino.) – I was at the cinema yesterday.
2. Вчера было очень жарко. (Včera bylo očen' žarko.) – It was very hot yesterday.

Tips to remember the Russian word:
– Picture a time when you look back at something that happened, invoking a sense of nostalgia. Connect the sound "vcher" in "вчера" (vchera) with looking back or reflecting on the past.

Explanations:
– The word "вчера" (vchera) is a straightforward adverb in Russian that means "yesterday." It describes something that occurred on the day prior to today.

Other words that mean the same thing:
– "Предшествующий день" (predshestvuyushchiy den') which translates to "the preceding day." This is a more formal way to say "yesterday."

Alternate meanings like slang:
– In slang or casual speech, "вчера" (vchera) might be used similarly to English to vaguely refer to something that happened in the past, not just specifically the day before.

Examples of sentences that use it:
