To say a regular habit, such as every Monday, Bosnians often use svakog ponedjeljka or ponedjeljkom. For one particular day, u is the usual choice.
Remember that the accusative of feminine nouns ends in -u. Masculine days such as petak look the same in both cases, so you only need to learn the three feminine ones. That is why nedjelja turns into nedjelju. The same rule applies to any noun in -a.
