Days of the Week

Level 1

Seven day names, written with a small letter.

dissabteSaturday
dimengeSunday

Day names are ordinary words, so they start with a small letter inside a sentence: uèi es dimècres. A capital appears only at the start of a sentence. Keep the accents in dimècres and dijòus. The list runs from Monday to Sunday, and all seven days are masculine.

A day name can open or end a sentence: Dimenge, anam a Albi. It answers Quora? Use it with uèi, ièr and deman: Deman es dijòus.
