    It's a bit annoying that the English language doesn't have a word for the successor of the successor of an element in a list. In English you say "the day after tomorrow". In German you just say "übermorgen" or "der übernächste Tag".

      @broniebrown In Spanish we use "pasado mañana" which translates as "past tomorrow". Since "übermorgen" is composed of two words, it's pretty much the same in lenght.

          @broniebrown But you can see a pattern :-). In latin1: poslezavtra, posleposlezavtra, posleposleposlezavtra.
