A word for...
'two weeks' is fortnight, what is the word meaning in 'two days'
Top answer
In common usuage, I can think of no single word for "in two days". Sometimes, "the day after tomorrow" is used so there is no misunderstanding, usually when setting an appointment. "Fortnight" is an old word that is found in poetry or older writing, or perhaps still in the UK.

'two weeks' is fortnight
Only in certain regions. We don't use it in the U.S.
the word meaning in 'two days'
There is none. It's certainly not fortday, if that's what you were thinking.
