Definition
时日 is a formal/literary word for 'time' or 'day'. It can refer to a stretch of time (often with implications of duration), a specific day, or in idiomatic expressions an 'auspicious time'. Its tone is more elevated than the ordinary 时间 or 日子, and you will encounter it in news, historical narration, and fixed phrases like 时日不多了 ('time is running out') or 吉日吉时 ('auspicious day and hour').
