সোমবাৰ / শুকুৰবাৰ

Days of the Week

Level 2Sounds Like sōmabāra / śukurabāra

সোমবাৰ is Monday and শুকুৰবাৰ is Friday. Add -ে for “on that day”: দেওবাৰে “on Sunday”.

How It Works

All seven days end in বাৰ, which means “day”.

Examples: আজি শুকুৰবাৰ “today is Friday” and মই শনিবাৰে ঘৰত থাকোঁ “I stay at home on Saturdays”.

Another word for Sunday, ৰবিবাৰ, is also used, and Tuesday is also spelled মঙ্গলবাৰ.

The ending -ে joins the day name directly, with no space. It also fits things that happen every week on that day: আমি দেওবাৰে খেলোঁ “we play on Sundays”.
