Context & Register
语域：neutral 常见场景：日常交谈、个人计划与愿望、一般书面叙述 someday 通常用于日常口语和一般书面语，比较常见于谈论未来的愿望或计划；在正式写作中较少出现，可换用更正式的说法。
Pronunciation & Spelling
The first syllable of 'someday' /ˈsʌmdeɪ/ sounds like 'some' /sʌm/, rhyming with 'sum' and 'drum' (all /ʌm/). 'sum' is a homophone of 'some'. The words 'day', 'today', and 'play' share the final /deɪ/ or /eɪ/ spelling and sound, but 'someday' is stressed on the first syllable, so these are lookalikes rather than true rhymes.
