dienā

Latvian. Rfd-sense of the Adverb:

1. per day

   Jāizdzer astoņas glāzes ūdens dienā.

   You should drink eight glasses of water per day.

I don't speak Latvian, so this will require confirmation from someone who does, but this looks like it's really just the locative case of the noun. After all, locatives have an inherently adverbial quality, semantically speaking. Chuck Entz (talk) 22:51, 25 August 2023 (UTC)

The same advice to drink at least eight glasses if water per day is expressed here in Turkish using the locative günde of gün (“day”). This is indeed a standard use of the locative; the Turkish way of saying “percent” is yüzde (“per hundred”). I think the usex under the heading Adverb can simply be moved to the Noun.  --Lambiam 19:23, 6 September 2023 (UTC)
