Spanish Days of the Week

Published by Sean under Spanish Lessons

Spanish Days Pronunciation:
 
Monday - lunes
Tuesday - martes
Wednesday - miércoles
Thursday - jueves
Friday - viernes
Saturday - sábado
Sunday - domingo
 
You will notice that Spanish days are not capitalized; they are treated like ordinary words. They are capitalized when starting a sentence or standing alone, such as when used in a calendar. However, el often, but not always, precedes the day in question.
 
No me gustan los lunes. (I don’t like Mondays)
Sábado es el mejor día de la semana. (Saturday is the best day of the week.)
El domingo es para descansar. (Sunday is for rest.)
