paloYaLetsatsi

→ day()

Returns the day of the month from the computer's clock, from 1 to 31.

paloYaLetsatsi()

It returns the number of the day within the month — not the name of the weekday.

One word, two meanings. In Setswana, letsatsi is a day of the month — and also the sun in the sky. Bopa has not invented a split the language does not make; the full name, paloYaLetsatsi, says which is meant: the number of the day, not the day itself. What is meant is the letsatsi la kgwedi, the day of the month.
