MORE ABOUT WEEKDAY

What is a weekday?

A weekday is any day that is not a weekend day.

Since the weekend is considered to consist of Saturday and Sunday, the weekdays are Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. (Even though Friday evening is sometimes considered the start of the weekend, Friday is still considered a weekday.)

The evenings of weekdays are called weeknights.

The word week most commonly refers to any period of seven consecutive days, or to the seven-day period on the calendar that begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. However, in weekday and weeknight, it refers to the five-day period that’s often considered the workweek or school week. The standard workweek is from Monday through Friday, though working schedules vary widely. Days of the workweek can be called workdays. Weekdays are usually (but not always) workdays or school days.

For this reason, terms like weekday and weeknight are typically used—instead of just saying day or night—to distinguish them from the days and nights on the weekend.

The word weekdays can be used as an adverb meaning on weekdays—Monday through Friday. The word weekends can be used as an adverb in the same way, as in We’re open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but we’re closed weekends.

Example: I don’t usually like to be out so late on a weekday, but I couldn’t miss this!

Where does weekday come from?

The first records of the word weekday come from before the 900s. The seven-day week dates back thousands of years, and the concept of the week being divided into working days and nonworking days is also very old. The seven-day week appears in the Biblical account of creation, which introduces the idea of a rest day.

If weekdays are workdays or school days for you, you probably have strong opinions about each one. People famously hate Mondays and love Fridays, with Wednesdays being seen as a hopeful halfway point to the weekend. Tuesday might be the worst weekday, though—it’s still days away from Friday without any of the leftover glow from the weekend. And Thursdays just wish they were Fridays.

Did you know … ?

How is weekday used in real life?

The word weekday is typically used to distinguish a day as being part of the workweek as opposed to one of the weekend days.

I would gladly trade 2 hours from every weekday for 10 hour longer weekend.

Multilingual Translator © HarperCollins Publishers 2009

Доброго времени суток, дорогие друзья, с вами Георгий Филатов! Дни недели на английском зачастую учат уже на первых занятиях. И мы заметили, что абсолютное большинство студентов просто привыкают к ним и не задумываются над историей их происхождения. 

               А она очень интересная, ведь названия дней недели практически без изменений пришли со староанглийского языка — им уже больше полутора тысяч лет. И с их помощью вы славите скандинавских богов. Сегодня рассказываем о них. Поехали!

               В этом уроке вы не только научитесь правильно называть все дни недели на английском, но и узнаете, как употребляются эти слова (и другие слова, связанные с ними) в предложениях. Для начала зададим базовый вопрос и ответим на него:

Дни недели на английском языке

How many days of the week are there? — Сколько дней в неделе?

There are seven days of the week. — В неделе семь дней.

Какой день [недели] сегодня? —  What day is it (today)?

Сегодня понедельник. — Today is Monday. / (It’s) Monday.

Полезные слова:

days of the week — дни недели;
weekday [‘wiːkdeɪ] — будний день;
weekend [ˌwiːk’end] — выходные дни, уикэнд.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday — по правилам английского языка все дни недели пишутся с заглавных букв. 

Дни недели на английском языке с произношением

Sunday – Воскресенье [САНДЭЙ]

Monday – Понедельник [МАНДЭЙ]

Tuesday – Вторник [ТЬЮСДЭЙ]

Wednesday – Среда [ВЭНДСДЭЙ]

Thursday – Четверг [СЁРСДЭЙ]

Friday – Пятница [ФРАЙДЭЙ]

Saturday – Суббота [САТУРДЭЙ]

Интересный факт: среду также называют «hump day». Это середина рабочей недели: как только среда закончена, заветный рубеж пройден («hump» — бугорок), и теперь все пойдет на спад, т. к. осталось работать всего два дня.

Название дней недели в английском и мифология

Дни недели на английском языке

Sunday – день солнца.

Monday – понедельник происходит от английского слова moon – луна. Соответственное это «лунный день».

Tuesday — вторник происходит от название древнего бога войны и чести Тира.

Wednesday – среда названа в честь бога Одина, ведь это средний день недели, а Один как известно это центр на котором сосредоточено все от мудрости до равновесия.

Thursday – тут вы даже найдете созвучие с тем богом в честь которого назван этот день. Сёрсдэй – (Тор)дэй. Да вы правы, это день тора. Тор бог грома, он в древней мифологии занимал второе место после верховного бога. И идет он как раз после дня Одина.

Friday – среда, названа в честь верховной богини и жены Одина, покровительницы любви, брака и домашнего очага Фригги.

Saturday – суббота это единственный день недели в английском языке, который назван не в честь скандинавских богов. Они отдали тут дань Сатурну. Сатурн – бог плодородия и земледелия.

Предлоги с днями недели на английском языке

В американском английском предлоги часто опускаются:

I’ll see you Tuesday. — Увидимся во вторник.

The festivities begin Saturday. — Праздник начинается в субботу.

at the weekends — на выходных

Кратко:

  • Дни недели в английском языке всегда пишутся с большой буквы и без артикля.
  • В США и Канаде первым днем недели считается воскресенье. Неделя у них начинается с выходного дня.
  • При написании даты, название дня недели ставится на первое место. Например — Mon, 14 Mar 2015 (понедельник, 14 марта 2015 года).
  • Быстро запомнить название дней недели можно, применив мнемотехнику.
  • С днями недели используются предлоги on, this, every other, next, by, before, every, last.
  • Существует два способа сокращенного написания дней недели.
  • В устной речи окончание [eɪ] часто сокращают до [ɪ]. При этом, например, понедельник будет произносится как [‘mʌndɪ].

Сокращенное написание дней недели.

В английском языке есть два варианта сокращенного написания дней недели. Первый вариант — двухбуквенный, используется в календарях. Второй — трехбуквенный — при написании дат в тексте. Оба этих варианта приведены в таблице.
