der Vormittag, -e
morning
Die Zeitspanne zwischen dem frühen Morgen und dem Mittag.
The German word "Vormittag" is a noun that refers to "morning" or "forenoon", the time between sunrise and noon. It is a compound word made up of "vor" meaning "before" and "Mittag" meaning "noon". "Vormittag" specifies the period of the day before midday (12:00 PM).
Words with a similar meaning include "Morgen" (morning), which generally refers to the early part of the day right after waking up but can overlap with "Vormittag". There is no real difference in meaning between "Morgen" and "Vormittag," but "Morgen" can sometimes imply an earlier timespan in the day, while "Vormittag" clearly denotes the timeframe leading up to noon.
