Re: [lojban-beginners] Day standard



I believe that the standard is planetary: Earth has a rotational period (day) of just under 24 hours, whereas Neptune's period is slightly over 16 hours.

In class today, I said "tomorrow" referring to the next day the class would occur, which happens to be Wednesday.
I thought, "Huh.  Lojban probably has a way of expressing this concept of tomorrow."  So I checked.
Sure enough:

bavlamdei
d1=b1=l1 is tomorrow; d1=b1=l1 is the day following b2=l2, day standard d3.

Now I'm wondering, what would I use to fill in the third place? i.e. how would I say "We are presenting tomorrow, by day standard (days this class occurs)"?

Actually, now I'm wondering how to say "We are presenting tomorrow."  My abstractions and tenses aren't that good yet.

PS
We in this case is {mi'a}: I and others unspecified, but not you, the listener
