2NITE stands for Tonight, a texting and chat abbreviation.
Keypad-era spelling that swaps "to" for the digit 2 and "night" for the simplified "nite." It shows up in casual invitations, party flyers and nostalgic posts more than in everyday texts by younger users.
Example: Movie at my place 2nite? Bring snacks and I'll pick the film.
Usage notes
The "nite" spelling is much older than texting and was common in American advertising and signage, as in "nite club." The combination 2nite became popular with SMS in the 2000s. Younger texters more often write "tn" or simply "tonight." Not suitable for professional writing.
