Hi Richard!

As you mentioned, in Portuguese the name for Wednesday means the fourth day ("quarta-feira"). But did you know that it's the same for the other working days?

Monday: segunda-feira (means "second day");

Tuesday: terça-feira (third day);

Wednesday: quarta-feira, as above;

Thursday: quinta-feira (fifth day);

Friday: sexta-feira (guess!)

Saturday: sábado (from the Hebrew "Shabbat")

Sunday: domingo (from the Latin "Dominicus Dies", day of God)

Congratulations for the great video!

Hi Richard, thanks for your video. I love it. I was born in Indonesia on a Thursday, you said that I would have much success in my profession. Yes!!! Amin!!! :) The days of the week in Indonesian: Monday - Senin Tuesday - Selasa Wednesday - Rabu Thursday - Kamis Friday - Jumat Saturday - Sabtu Sunday - Minggu The words in Indonesian are totally different from the English words. I have no idea about the meaning and where they are from.

The days of the week in Italian:

Monday = Lunedì (it's considered the first day of the week). It comes from Luna, that means Moon. So, pretty similar to English, right?

Tuesday= Martedì. It comes from Mars, again the War god.

Wednesday= Mercoledì. It comes from Mercury (in Italian Mercurio) , Jupiter's messenger.

Thursday= Giovedì. It comes from Jupiter (In Italian Giove)

Friday= Venerdì. It comes from Venus (In Italian Venere)

Saturday= Sabato.

Sunday= Domenica. (It's the holiday day)

[karumisabi2901]

We don't work or study on Sunday (Chủ nhật) because it's Jesus' day. We don't have a day called "the first day", we begin our week with "the second day". But we don't call Sunday "the first day" either. We consider it the last day of a week.

It's really confusing, isn't it? Some calendars place Sundays at first column, others place them at the last column. Always in red.

First of all, what a great video, I can see you gave it an enormous attempt. Thanks a lot.

I was born on Tuesday, and my friends consider me graceful. So what you say is true, isn't it?

In Vietnam, Sunday is either the first day or the last day of a week.

Monday - The second day (thứ Hai)

Tuesday - The third day (thứ Ba)

Wednesday - The fourth day (thứ Tư)

Thursday - The fifth day (thứ Năm)

Friday - The sixth day (thứ Sáu)

Saturday - The seventh day (thứ Bảy)

[trinhquocmanh1990]

@karumisabi2901 I think Sunday is the first day of the week. If not why they call Mon day is the second day.

[karumisabi2901]

@trinhquocmanh1990 Have you forgotten a song's lyrics which is "Thứ Hai là ngày đầu tuần, bé hứa cố gắng chăm ngoan".?

As I said, it depends on each one. Now primary pupils have 2 days off (Saturday ans Sunday) every week and they call them the weekend. But respect your perception, so Sunday is your first day of a week.

Cheers.

Regarding the Japanese naming of planets, I can`t remember them all off hand. So I went to Wikipedia and couldn`t find exactly what I wanted to find expeditiously.

As a suffix `-sei` means `planet`.

Japanese planets are called:

Kasei (Fire planet) - Mars.

Mokusei (Tree planet) - Jupiter (or maybe Saturn).

Etc. etc.

Forgive me for not being complete.

[naganokumas]

The days of the week in Japanese:

Sunday - Nichiyoubi (Sun day).

Monday - Getsuyoubi (Moon day).

Tuesday - Kayoubi (Fire day).

Wednesday - Suiyoubi (Water day).

Thursday - Mokuyoubi (Tree day).

Friday - Kinyoubi (Money/gold day).

Saturday - Doyoubi (Earth/soil day).

[karumisabi2901]

@naganokumas lovely :)

[naganokumas]

In Japan the naming of the days of the week and the planets is similar.

There are similarities with our namings, too. `-youbi` means `-day`.

Getsu (moon/month. etc.) - youbi. Monday in Japanese is getsuyoubi.

Nichi talks about the sun and daytime stuff. Sunday in Japanese is nichiyoubi.

But in Japan they also talk about trees, and water, and other stuff, too.
