In this lesson, we’re going to learn about the days of the week in Russian.

This is an important part of your everyday vocabulary.

Knowing these days will help you create sentences and understand common phrases about time.

Days of the Week in Russian:

1. Понедельник (Ponedel'nik) - Monday
2. Вторник (Vtornik) - Tuesday
3. Среда (Sreda) - Wednesday
4. Четверг (Chetverg) - Thursday
5. Пятница (Pyatnitsa) - Friday
6. Суббота (Subbota) - Saturday
7. Воскресенье (Voskresen'ye) - Sunday

Example Sentences:

• Сегодня понедельник.
  Today is Monday.

• Я работаю в пятницу.
  I work on Friday.

Important Points:

1. Noun Gender: In Russian, the days of the week are all masculine nouns.
   This means you should use masculine words when you describe them.

2. Prepositions: You usually put the word "в" (which means "in" or "on") before the days when you talk about them.

   • Я встречусь с тобой в среду.
     (I will meet with you on Wednesday.)

Practice:

Try making your own sentences with the days of the week.

For example:

• Завтра — четверг.
  (Tomorrow is Thursday.)

Common Phrases:

• Какой сегодня день?
  (What day is it today?)

• На выходных я отдыхаю.
  (On weekends, I relax.)

Tip to Remember:

To help you remember the days better, link each day to an activity you do on that day.

For example, you might remember "Вторник — день для стирки" (Tuesday is laundry day).

Practicing these words and sentences will help you speak Russian better and understand how the language works!
