Questions & Answers about Dziś wieczorem wiatr jest chłodny.

Why do we say Dziś wieczorem even though wieczorem already means “in the evening”? Isn’t Dziś redundant?

Wieczorem by itself means “in the evening / in the evenings (generally)” and can be understood as a general time (habit, routine, or just “this evening” from context).

Dziś wieczorem focuses the time more clearly on today’s evening = this evening. It’s like emphasising “this particular evening, today” rather than evenings in general.

Compare:

• Wieczorem czytam książki. – In the evening / in the evenings I read books. (habit)
• Dziś wieczorem czytam książkę. – I’m reading a book this evening (today).

So Dziś is not redundant; it makes the time more specific and “today-based” rather than general.

What is the difference between Dziś and Dzisiaj?

Both Dziś and Dzisiaj mean “today”, and in everyday speech they’re almost completely interchangeable.

• Dziś – slightly shorter, a bit more colloquial or stylistic; very common in speech and writing.
• Dzisiaj – slightly longer, often considered a bit more neutral or a touch more formal.

In this sentence you could also say:

• Dzisiaj wieczorem wiatr jest chłodny. – completely correct and natural.

For most learners, you can treat dziś = dzisiaj in meaning.
