As used in canon:

DaHjaj jI'oj

DaHjaj romuluSngan vIHoHpu'
Today I killed a Romulan. (st.k 6/1997)
nI' DaHjaj
Today is long. (st.k 6/1997)
st.k 6/1997: {DaHjaj} also behaves as a noun (as opposed to an adverbial element) in such noun-noun constructions as {DaHjaj gheD} "today prey" or "today's prey", a term often heard in Klingon restaurants with a meaning comparable to "catch of the day".
Examples of timestamps from Okrand's st.k post are:
DaHjaj DungluQ this noon, today at noon
DaHjaj pemjep this midday, today in the middle of the day
DaHjaj po this morning
DaHjaj pem today's daytime
DaHjaj pov this afternoon
DaHjaj ram tonight
DaHjaj ramjep this midnight, tonight at midnight
A common synonym is {jajvam}, best known from:
Heghlu'meH QaQ jajvam
It is a good day to die. TKW
(or "Today is a good day to die.")
