How to Say "Tomorrow" in Kannada

ನಾಳೆ

nāḷe/n̪aːɭe/

The Kannada word for "tomorrow" is ನಾಳೆ (nāḷe).

ನಾಳೆ is an adverb used to refer to the day after the present day.

Meaning: on the day after the present day (adv)

How do you pronounce it?

The word is romanized as nāḷe. In the International Phonetic Alphabet, it is pronounced /n̪aːɭe/.

In some colloquial contexts in Karnataka, ನಾಳೆ can be used vaguely to mean 'some time in the future' rather than strictly the next calendar day.
The letter ಳ in ನಾಳೆ represents a retroflex lateral approximant, a sound produced by curling the tongue back, which does not exist in English.
Although they are different languages, the words for 'tomorrow' in Kannada and Tamil, ನಾಳೆ and நாளை, are nearly identical. This reflects their shared ancestral history.
