- утром = in the morning
- днём = in the daytime / during the day
- вечером = in the evening

Does дочка mean the same as дочь?
They both mean daughter, but the tone is different.
- дочь = neutral, standard, more formal
- дочка = affectionate, everyday, warmer, often used in normal speech
So дочка can sound like daughter with a slightly personal or loving tone. It does not necessarily mean the daughter is very young, even though it is historically a diminutive form.
Why is the verb попросила feminine?
