קונם יין. עד שתחשך. שכן דרך לשון בני אדם, כשאומרים היום רוצים לומר עד השלמת היום:
שבת זו. היה עומד באמצע השבוע ואמר שבת זו אסור בכל השבוע:
והשבת לשעבר. ואסור נמי ביום השבת, כי הוא בכלל השבוע שעבר:
חודש זה אסור בכל החודש. אם עומד באמצע החודש ואמר חודש זה, אסור עד תשלום החודש, ויום ר״ח להבא, ומותר ביום ר״ח כי הוא נמנה עם החודש הבא, ואפילו היה ר״ח ביום שלשים לחודש שעבר. וכן שנה זו, אם עמד באמצע השנה ואמר שנה זו, אסור עד תשלום השנה, ומותר בר״ה שהוא נמנה עם השנה העתידה לבא:
שבוע זה. היה עומד באמצע השמיטה ואמר שבוע זה, אסור עד תשלום השמיטה, והשביעית בכלל שמיטה שעברה:
אם אמר יום אחד, שבת אחת, חודש אחד, שנה אחת, שבוע אחד, אסור מיום ליום. אם עומד באמצע היום ואומר יום אחד, אסור עד למחר כעת הזאת. וכן אם עומד בשמונה לחודש ואמר חודש עלי, אסור עד ח׳ לחודש הבא. וכן בשנה. וכן בשמיטה. וכן אם אמר קונם עלי יין יום סתם, או שבת, או חודש, או שנה סתם, אע״פ שלא אמר יום אחד, שבת אחת, חודש אחד, דינו מעת לעת. והאומר קונם עלי יין היום, אע״פ שהוא מותר כשתחשך, צריך שאלה לחכם, גזירה כשאמר היום שמא יבא להתיר כשיאמר יום סתם, דמיחלף ליה בין יום להיום, או בין שבת זו לשבת סתם. וכן כולם:

נדרים פרק ח׳ משנה ב׳
Bartenura
עד הפסל אסור עד שיגיע – that in the language of human beings, up to but not including.
עד שיהא, אסור עד שיצא – that implies all the time which is the present.
עד לפני הפסח ר"מ אומר אסור עד שיגיע (see also Talmud Kiddushin 65a for an alternative reading in this dispute between Rabbi Meir and Rabbi Yossi)- for a person does not inject himself into a doubt, and matter that is ascertained to call “prior to Passover” is stated, and which is until it (i.e., Passover) arrives. But Rabbi Yossi holds that a person does inject himself into a doubt to prohibit all that he is able to have doubts about. And the Halakha is according to Rabbi Yossi.
עד הפסח אסור עד שיגיע. דבלשון בני אדם, עד ולא עד בכלל:
עד שיהא, אסור עד שיצא. דמשמע כל זמן שהוא הווה:
עד לפני הפסח ר״מ אומר אסור עד שיגיע. דלא מעייל אינש נפשיה אספיקא, ודבר המבורר לקרות פני הפסח קאמר, והיינו עד שיגיע. ורבי יוסי סבר, מעייל אינש נפשיה לאסור בכל מה שיוכל להסתפק. והלכה כר׳ יוסי:

After World War II, in 1947, Rav Yonah Sztencl, a disciple of Rav Frommer, expanded the program, advocating for a comprehensive study of Shishah Sidrei Mishnah. The idea of studying two Mishnayos daily gained the support of figures like Rav Isser Zalman Meltzer, the Tchebiner Rov, and the Gerer Rebbe, marking the formal inception of Mishnah Yomi.

קונם יין עד שתחשך – for such is the manner of language of human beings, for when they say, “today,” they want to say until the completion of the day.
שבת זו – he would stand in the middle of the week, and say, “this week is forbidden” – for the entire week.
והשבת לשעבר – and he is also prohibited on the sabbath day, for it is in the category of the week that past.
חודש זה אסור בכל החודש – if he is standing in the middle of the month and said, “this month,” he forbidden until the completion of the month, and the day of Rosh Hodesh of the month ahead, but it is permitted on the day of Rosh Hodesh because it is counted with the next month, and even if Rosh Hodesh is on the thirtieth [day] of the previous month. And similarly, this year, if he stood in the middle of the year and stated, “this year,” it is forbidden until the completion of the year, but it is permitted on Rosh Hashanah which is counted with the year that will come in the future.
שבוע זה – he was standing in the middle of the Shmittah year and stated, “this seven-year cycle,” he is forbidden until the completion of the Shmittah, and the seventh year is included within the Shmittah year that had passed.
אם אמר יום אחד, שבת אחת, חודש אחד, שנה אחת, שבוע אחד אסור מיום ליום – if he is standing in the middle of the day and states “one day” he is forbidden until the morrow at this time. And similarly, if he is standing in the eighth [day] of the month and stated, “[KONAM] this month is upon me,” he is forbidden until the eighth [day] of the next month. And similarly, for a year. And similarly, in the Shmittah year. And similarly, if he said, “KONAM that wine is forbidden upon me for an unspecified day, or week, or month, or unspecified year, even though he did not say “one day,” “one week,” “one month,” the law is the time of twenty-four astronomical hours. But one who says “KONAM that wine [will be forbidden] upon me today,” even though he is permitted when it it gets dark, he requires a request made to a Sage [to be released from his vow], as a decree that when he stated “today,” lest he (i.e., the Sage) come [to release him from his vow], when he stated, an unspecified day, that he switched/exchanged between “the day” to “today,” or between this week to an unspecified week. And similarly, for all of them.
