Het is het Duitse woord voor overmorgen. Het Engelse overmorrow is zeldzaam en ouderwets.
Waar komt übermorgen vandaan?
Het gaat terug op oudere Duitse vormen met de betekenis voorbij morgen.

übermorgen früh is such a tiny phrase but very useful for train tickets and doctors appointments

I kept hearing it as über Morgen at first, like over the morning. wrong mental picture but it helped me remember it

Polish has pojutrze, one word also. I was surprised English doesnt have the everyday version

En español decimos pasado mañana, so German felt normal to me here for once

bis übermorgen and ab übermorgen are both useful. But for the simple appointment it is just wir treffen uns übermorgen, no am needed there

this is exactly the mistake I made, am übermorgen sounded so logical in my head

I would still put the actual date in an email. übermorgen is perfect when both people are talking today, but if the message sits unread overnight, now the cute little word is a mess.

überübermorgen is real, not just learner comedy, but it feels spoken and a bit playful. In a work mail I would put in drei Tagen or the date, not keep adding übers forever

Duden marks it colloquial, so your instinct is right

Capital letters are the trap here. I write wir sehen uns übermorgen, small ü, but übermorgen Abend with big A because Abend is the noun. My Austrian friend writes übermorgen Früh too, which looked wrong to me first
