Days of the Week
Say هر جمعه or جمعه‌ها for every Friday.
How It Works
Learn the days in order, starting from Saturday.
| Order | Day | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ۱ | شنبه | Saturday |
| ۲ | یک‌شنبه | Sunday |
| ۳ | دوشنبه | Monday |
| ۴ | سه‌شنبه | Tuesday |
| ۵ | چهارشنبه | Wednesday |
| ۶ | پنج‌شنبه | Thursday |
| ۷ | جمعه | Friday |
جمعه is the weekly day off. Ask the day with امروز چه روز است؟ and answer with the day and است: امروز دوشنبه است.
Spelling: دو and چهار join the word directly. یک، سه and پنج are written with a half-space.
Put هر in front of a day for every: هر شنبه. Add ـها for a weekly habit: جمعه‌ها means on Fridays. A day also answers the question چه وقت: امتحان چه وقت است؟ دوشنبه.
Add the hour after the day: جمعه ساعت ده بجه means Friday at ten.
