Usage notes
[edit]- The form is obsolete in formal prose, but compare heutzutage.
- In the vernacular, heut is generally preferred in southern Germany and Austria, whereas in northern and central Germany it is chiefly used only when lacking sentence stress. For example, one would typically say heut Mórgen ("this morning", not afternoon or night), but héute Morgen ("this morning", not another day).
