Usage Notes

"即日" is more formal and precise than simply saying "今天" (today). It stresses the urgency or immediacy within the same day. Avoid confusing it with "马上" which means "immediately" but not necessarily within the same day.

Common Confusion

Do not confuse "即日" with "立即" (immediately) which can mean right now or instantly. "即日" specifically refers to the same calendar day, not necessarily the exact moment.
