vandage

== Low German == === Alternative forms === vandaag, vondaag, vondage, vundaag, vundage (all chiefly non-Westphalian) vondoog, vundoog (some coastal dialects) === Etymology === From Middle Low German van dāge (“of [the] day”); compare Dutch vandaag. === Pronunciation === IPA(key): (Westphalian) /fanˈdaːɣə/, (elsewhere) /fanˈdɔːɣə/ === Adverb === vandage (especially Westphalian) today ==== Usage notes ==== Vandage (or one of its alternative forms) is known in most Low German dialects.
