Definition
At an unknown time in the future. It expresses hope, expectation, or possibility, without saying exactly when something will happen.
Usage & Nuances
'Someday' is common in personal hopes and long-term plans: 'Someday I'll travel the world.' It is a bit more emotional and dreamy than 'one day', while 'some day' as two words can sometimes mean 'on a particular day' in careful writing.
