[edit] σήμερα το βράδυ (simera to vradi) would be the closest alternative for απόψε The Modern Greek απόψε comes originally from από + οψέ. The preposition από you probably know means "from", "after" when in reference to time. Οψέ is an ancient Greek adverb meaning "late" or "late in the day". So απ' οψέ means literally "from/after late [in the day]". απόψε (apopse) = tonight/this evening

This is a common word, a very good one to know.
