I won't be home tomorrow. OR: I can't be at home tomorrow. OR: I am unable to be at home tomorrow.
Comment:
This example also shows that while an ability meaning is normal for yazi, it does not double up as an epistemic possibility meaning 'Perhaps I won't be home tomorrow', for which an adverbial must be used.
