"Today is Saturday."

[Nico838548]

Since when can keia alone be used as today?

The more literal translation is "This is Saturday," and DL has taken the liberty to translate this kind of phrase flexibly as Today is Saturday. DL has done this in several places, but I donʻt think their intent is to redefine Kēia as Today.

Well then they shouldnt mark "this is saturday" as wrong tho..

[DABurnside]

I totally agree. The dictionary definition of kēia/this does not include "today" as one of the translations.
