Korean - The Days of the Week

This is a video on how to say the days of the week in Korean by request from "IllusionNconfusion" :)

To help you understand, let me clarify that what is in the speech marks is how it is spoken while the writing that is not in speech marks is how it is literally written. For example for Monday, it is written "Wol Yoh il" but when it is spoken, the L sounds like an R because of the speed of how it is said so it sounds like "Woh Ryoh il" instead. The same goes for "Moh Gyoh il (Thursday)" "Geu Myoh il (Friday)" and "Ee Ryoh il (Sunday)". All of those are the pronunciations of the days when they are spoken out loud. So all the pronunciations that I wrote at the end when I recap through the days are the correct SPOKEN pronunciations. If you guys are still confused just let me know and I'll clarify it further :]

As always, I'd love to hear from you guys so leave whatever comments, questions, suggestions, ideas, etc. that you have down below :) I hope this video helped you guys and see you soon!

if my hypothesis is right, then it would be similar to how the chinese have litterally "1 day, 2 day, 3 day, etc" and then sunday which is litteraly "sun day"

is this correct?

@hack9

Actually, as you said, although in Chinese it's literally "1 day, 2 day, etc" for weekdays, it's not the same for Korean or Japanese. The Chinese characters used for the days of the week in both Japanese and Korean are exactly the same for both languages.

Monday = Moon / Month

Tuesday = Fire

Wednesday = Water

Thursday = Tree

Friday = Gold

Saturday = Earth (as in dirt/soil)

Sunday = Sun / Day

and those are what the Chinese characters mean for the days of the week. I hope that helped :]

This made Japanese how to read Korea.

Both are the same if I write this in kanji.

@taihuu25go

that's correct, if it is written in Chinese characters they are both written in the exact same way except that since the languages are different, they are pronounced completely differently. But they both mean the same thing essentially :)
