Days of the Week
понеделник, вторник, среда, четврток, петок, сабота, недела. On Monday is во понеделник.
How It Works
The days.
- понеделник Monday
- вторник Tuesday
- среда Wednesday
- четврток Thursday
- петок Friday
- сабота Saturday
- недела Sunday
On a day: во. во понеделник, во среда, во недела. Во сабота одам на пазар. (On Saturday I go to the market.)
What day it is: no preposition. Денес е четврток. · Утре е петок. Time words like денес and утре also need no preposition (Saying When).
Every Monday. Секој понеделник needs no preposition either.
Small letters. Macedonian does not capitalize days or months: во понеделник, во јануари (Capital and Small Letters).
Недела has two meanings: Sunday and week. The name of this topic, денови во неделата, means days of the week. Context almost always makes it clear, and седмица is another word for week.
Gender. Days ending in a consonant are masculine (понеделникот), and среда, сабота, недела are feminine (саботата). Months and seasons follow in Months and Seasons.
