How the patterns shape this root
يَوْم is a day, plural أَيَّام (the pattern أَفْعَال, with the و and the ي melting into a doubled ي). الْيَوْمَ with the article and a fatha means today. Add the ending ـِيّ for يَوْمِيّ, daily — عَمَلٌ يَوْمِيٌّ, daily work — and the adverb يَوْمِيًّا, every day; يَوْمِيَّات, 'dailies', is a diary. The days of the week are built from numbers: الْأَحَد، الِاثْنَيْنِ، الثُّلَاثَاء.
