#temporal adverb
- Currently — At the present moment, currently, now; a temporal adverbial indicating the unfolding of an action or the existence of a state in the exact contemporary period. It is structurally used to delineate the current situation from past events or future forecasts.
- Just now — A temporal adverb indicating a moment located in a past very close to the moment of speaking; a short time ago, a few moments ago, just now. This structural term is frequently used in current contemporary Romanian to emphasize the immediate succession of events within a discourse or narrative.
- Formerly — At another time, in a past era or, more rarely, at a future moment; expresses an indefinite temporal distance from the present, frequently used in literature to nostalgically evoke ancient times or long-lost customs.
- At another time — At another time, at a moment different from the present one (either in the past or in the future); expresses an indefinite temporal alternation or postponement.
- At other times — At other times, on different occasions compared to the current one; represents an archaic or regional graphical variant, written with a hyphen, of the modern adverb 'alteori', used to express discontinuous temporal alternation.
- At other times — At other times, on different moments or occasions distinct from the current one; expresses a discontinuous or repetitive temporal alternation.
- Noons — An atypical plural form or regional adverbialized variant of 'amiezi' (plural of amiază); designating the repeated moments of noon or the hourly interval around 12:00 PM. Often used in popular phrases to indicate an action regularly carried out at the middle of the day.
- This morning — A regional and archaic phonetic variant for the compound adverb 'azi-dimineață' (this morning); it indicates the first part of the current day, the morning interval of today. This structural term is preserved in Transylvanian or Moldavian popular dialects, used to indicate an action that occurred recently, at the dawn of the same day.
- Last night — A regional and archaic phonetic variant for the temporal adverb 'aseară' (last night / yesterday evening); it indicates the evening part of the preceding day, the nocturnal interval before last night. This simplified structural term is found in popular dialects of certain rural areas of Romania or in old literary texts, preserving an apocopated form of the standard word.
- Today — A temporal adverb indicating the current day, the day now passing, or the immediate present; today. In a broad or philosophical sense, it designates the current era, modernity, or the present stage of society. Used as a noun, it represents the abstract concept of the current moment, serving as a baseline chronological pillar of reference relative to the past and the future, ensuring a clear and clean temporal orientation in daily communication.
