What does Hoy really mean?

Student: Can you tell me what "Hoy" means? I keep hearing it, but I'm not really sure what it means.

Teacher: Absolutely, "Hoy" is a Spanish word that means "today" in English. So, when someone says "Hoy" in Spanish, they're talking about the current day, just like when we say "today" in English. It's kind of like a way of saying "right now." Just like we have different words for different times like yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Spanish has "hoy" for today, "mañana" for tomorrow, and "ayer" for yesterday.

Student: Oh, I get it now! So, "hoy" is like saying "today" but in Spanish, right?

Teacher: Exactly! It's just like how "lunch" in English is "almuerzo" in Spanish. It's just a different language, but it means the same thing. So, when you're talking to someone who speaks Spanish and they say "hoy," you'll know they're talking about today.
