Days of the Week

Level 1

The days are ponedjeljak, utorak, srijeda, četvrtak, petak, subota and nedjelja, written with a small letter.

How It Works

Here are the days, in order from Monday.

BosnianEnglish
ponedjeljakMonday
utorakTuesday
srijedaWednesday
četvrtakThursday
petakFriday
subotaSaturday
nedjeljaSunday

All seven are written with a small letter inside a sentence. The word for week is sedmica. Nedjelja means Sunday. You may also hear ove nedjelje for this week in loose speech, but this course uses sedmica for week.

To say that something happens on a day, use u and the accusative: u ponedjeljak, u utorak, u srijedu, u četvrtak, u petak, u subotu, u nedjelju. Days that end in -a change to -u.
