Short and clear. Nu meteen (now immediately) adds urgency. Nu even niet (not right now) is a polite deferral.
Used just like in English. Tot later (until later) is a casual way to say see you later as a farewell.
The final g is guttural. Vandaag is used constantly in planning conversations. Vandaag nog means today still, implying urgency.
Also means morning (de morgen), so context matters. Morgenochtend (MOR-khun-okh-tunt) specifically means tomorrow morning.
Literally "a little moment".
Stays singular after a number: "twee uur", two hours.
