I don't get how 今日 works in 今日は誘ってくれて嬉しかった.


I was watching Sora no Method 06, and at about 17:03 the line 今日は誘ってくれて嬉しかった
came up. Crunchyroll translated the line as "I'm happy you invited me today,"
but the problem is that she was invited the day before, not today, but
Crunchyroll's line made it seem like she was invited today. Is it possible
that 今日 only modifies 嬉しかった and doesn't necessarily specify the day that 誘う
happened?




今日は誘ってくれて嬉しかった sounds perfectly natural to me. I think it's like "Thank you
for asking me out for today." implying "Today, I had a great time."

今日誘ってくれて嬉しかった sounds to me like "I was happy you asked me out TODAY, not
another day."
