An adverb and nominal form indicating the 'daytime,' the period of light or activity between dawn and dusk; it may also mean 'by day,' 'in the daytime,' or, more abstractly, refer to the duration or quality of being day as opposed to night. It is frequently used in contrast with לַיְלָה (night), marking times or activities that occur specifically during the daylight hours, and can also convey the idea of regular or repeated daytime occurrence (e.g., 'by day' as opposed to 'by night').

in the daytime
| Morphological Notes | Adverbial nominal form (mimation suffix) from יום; functions as a temporal adverb meaning during the day. |
| Rendering Rationale | The form is an adverbial derivative of יום with mimation, indicating the state or period of being day. "In the daytime" preserves the root sense of day/light while reflecting its function as a temporal adverb. |
