To indicate that you are talking about 'tomorrow', the verb in the sentence must be in the future tense.

To avoid confusion when the verb tense is ambiguous, speakers may use the phrase ਆਉਣ ਵਾਲਾ ਕੱਲ੍ਹ to explicitly mean 'the coming tomorrow'.
The word ਕੱਲ੍ਹ is inherited from the ancient Paisaci Prakrit language, which was spoken in parts of ancient India.
When speaking very rapidly, the final consonant sound in ਕੱਲ੍ਹ may be softened or dropped, making it sound more like a short 'kal'.
