Дни недели в английском — одна из первых и основных тем, которую изучают, приступив к освоению языка. Без обозначения конкретного дня нельзя рассказать о своем расписании или планах.

В этой статье мы разберем дни недели на английском языке с переводом и транскрипцией, напомним, как по-английски слово неделя, приведем примеры употребления этих слов и объясним их происхождение.

В некоторых англоязычных странах, а именно в США и Канаде, неделя начинается не с понедельника, как в России, а с воскресенья. В Великобритании, как и у нас — с понедельника. Помните, как по-английски будет слово “неделя”? Week [wiːk]. В англоязычных странах неделя также состоит из 7 дней. День по-английски — day. There are 7 days in a week (В неделе 7 дней). Рабочие дни — с понедельника по пятницу, они называются workday [‘wə:kdei]. Выходные (суббота и воскресенье) называются weekend [wiːk’end]. Обратите внимание, что weekend — это одни выходные (суббота и воскресенье одной недели), а weekends обозначает какое-то количество суббот и воскресений, “уикендов”.

Прежде чем мы начнем изучать дни недели, необходимо обратить ваше внимание на то, что по-английски дни недели являются именами собственными и пишутся с заглавной буквы. Сокращенные названия дней недели на английском также пишутся с большой буквы. Аналогично обстоит дело и с названиями месяцев.

Итак, начнем с первого дня американской недели. Воскресенье по-английски Sunday [‘sΛndei ]. Сокращенно — Sun (аналог нашего вс.)

I like to sleep On Sundays (По воскресеньям я люблю поспать).

Sunday is my favorite day of the week (Воскресенье — мой любимый день недели).

Если мы говорим о действии, которое происходит в какой-то конкретный день, то любой день недели на английском употребляется с предлогом on (в).

Понедельник по-английски Monday [‘mΛndei]. Сокращенно — Mon.

Monday is a hard day (Понедельник — тяжелый день).

I go to the swimming pool on Mondays (Я хожу в бассейн по понедельникам).

Вторник по-английски Tuesday [‘tju:zdei]. Сокращенно — Tue.

Tuesday is the third day of the week in the USA (Вторник — третий день недели в США).

We usually visit our friends on Tuesdays (Мы обычно навещаем друзей по вторникам).

Среда по-английски будет Wednesday [‘wenzdei]. Сокращенно — Wed.

Wednesday marks the middle of the week (Среда — это середина недели).

My mother cooks fish on Wednesdays (Моя мама готовит рыбу по средам).

Как по-английски будет четверг? Thursday [‘θə:zdei]. Сокращенно — Thu.

The shop is closed on Thursday (Магазин в четверг закрыт).

I don’t like Thursdays, I must get up early (Я не люблю четверги, я должен рано вставать).

Как пишется по-английски пятница? Friday [‘fraidei]. Сокращенно — Fri.

Friday is the last workday (Пятница — последний рабочий день).

We go to the tennis club on Fridays (По пятницам мы ходим в теннисный клуб).

И завершаем дни недели на английском языке по порядку, то есть субботой Saturday [‘sætədei]. Сокращенно — Sat.

Saturday is the first day of the weekend (Суббота — первый выходной день).

They never work on Saturdays (Они никогда не работают по субботам).

Повторим еще раз все дни недели на английском языке с произношением:

w1

И сокращенные названия дней недели:

w2

Чтобы быстрее запомнить дни недели, советуем вам распечатать приведенную выше таблицу и повесить ее на видном месте.

Также для эффективного запоминания помогают различные ассоциации. Например, происхождение названий дней недели.

Понедельник (Monday) произошел от слова “луна” (Moon).

Вторник (Tuesday) — от имени сына Одина, бога войны Тиу (Tui).

Среда (Wednesday) — от имени верховного бога викингов Одина (Woden).

Название четверга (Thursday) произошло от имени другого сына Одина, бога грома Тора (Thor).

Пятница (Friday) произошла от имени богини плодородия Фрэи (Freya).

А выходные произошли от названия звезд и планет. Суббота (Saturday) — от Сатурна (Saturn). Воскресенье (Sunday) — от Солнца (Sun).

При изучении английского с детьми, дни недели хорошо запоминать при помощи стихов. Например:

Sunday, Monday — мы в команде.
Tuesday, Wednesday — все объездим.
Thursday, Friday — жди гостей.
Saturday — и новостей.

Sunday, Monday, Tuesday too. (Воскресенье, понедельник, вторник тоже)
Wednesday, Thursday just for you. (Среда, четверг только для тебя)
Friday, Saturday that’s the end. (Пятница, Суббота — это конец недели)
Now let’s say those days again! (Теперь давай повторим эти дни!)

Запомнить слово “неделя” по-английски поможет двустишие:

К названиям я уже привык
Неделя по-английски — week.

Выучить дни недели по-английски не сложно, у вас все получится! И не стоит откладывать это на завтра, начинайте прямо сегодня, какой бы день ни был на календаре: Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday или Saturday. Желаем удачи!

MORE ABOUT WEDNESDAY

What does Wednesday mean?

Wednesday is the weekday between Tuesday and Thursday.

In much of North and South America, where most countries (including the U.S. and Canada) consider the calendar week to begin on Sunday, Wednesday is the fourth day of the week. (In other places, where the week is considered to begin on Saturday or Monday, Wednesday is the fifth or third day of the week.)

Regardless of when the week officially begins, in many places Wednesday is considered the third day of the workweek, the five-day span from Monday to Friday during which many people work (with Saturday and Sunday considered the weekend).

Because Wednesday falls directly in the middle of the workweek (around what is called midweek), with two days on either side, it is sometimes informally referred to as hump day. This is a humorous way of expressing the idea that it is the day on which everyone makes it “over the hump,” as if the workweek were a hill with Wednesday as the point after which everything starts to be “downhill” toward the weekend.

The word Wednesdays can be used as an adverb meaning every Wednesday or on Wednesdays, as in I work Wednesdays or The shop is closed Wednesdays.

To indicate the general time of day during which something will happen on a Wednesday, the word can be followed by the general time, as in Wednesday morning, Wednesday afternoon, Wednesday evening, and Wednesday night. 

Example: I’m glad it’s finally Wednesday and the workweek is halfway over, but that means we still have two days to go.

Where does Wednesday come from?

The first records of the word Wednesday come from before 950. It comes from the Middle English Wednesdai, from the Old English Wōdnesdæg, meaning “Woden‘s day.” This is a translation of (or is modeled on) the Latin term Mercuriī diēs, meaning “Mercury’s day.” In Old English, the Roman god Mercury was subbed out in favor of Woden, the chief god of Anglo-Saxon mythology (equivalent to the Norse god Odin).

Wednesday is just one of the days of the week named after a mythological figure. Tuesday derives its name from Tiu, war god of Anglo-Saxon mythology. Thursday is named for Thor, hammer-wielding god of thunder (and son of Odin). Friday is thought to be named for love goddess Freya or chief goddess Frigg, wife of Odin. Saturday’s name comes from Saturn, Roman god of agriculture.

In pop culture, Wednesday is known as the name of the character Wednesday Addams from the Addams Family series of shows and movies.

How is Wednesday used in real life?

Wednesday is especially associated with its position in the middle of the workweek, meaning it is often seen as a hopeful halfway point to the weekend.

Wednesday!! Halfway to the weekend! I can see Friday from here!
