सोमवार को

Days and Times with को

Level 2Sounds Like sōmavāra kō

Days, dates and parts of the day take को to say when: सोमवार को, दस तारीख़ को, रात को.

How It Works

English says on Monday, at night and in the afternoon. Hindi uses one word, को, after the time word.

English	Hindi
on Monday	सोमवार को
on Sunday	रविवार को
on the 15th	पंद्रह तारीख़ को
in the afternoon	दोपहर को
in the evening	शाम को
at night	रात को

सुबह (morning) usually stands alone: मैं सुबह चाय पीता हूँ. You will hear शाम both alone and as शाम को.

Some time words do not take को: आज, कल, अभी, and clock times with बजे (पाँच बजे). When आज or कल comes first, को is often left out: आज रात (tonight), कल सुबह (tomorrow morning). You will also hear कल रात को. With हर (every), को is optional: हर सोमवार or हर सोमवार को (every Monday).

The days of the week are सोमवार, मंगलवार, बुधवार, गुरुवार, शुक्रवार, शनिवार and रविवार.
