Questions & Answers about Hétfőn korán reggelizek, szombaton pedig később.

Why is there no separate word for on in hétfőn and szombaton?

Because Hungarian usually does not use a separate preposition here. Instead, it adds a suffix to the day name.

So:

• hétfőn = on Monday
• szombaton = on Saturday

This is very common with days of the week in Hungarian.

Why do hétfőn and szombaton have different endings if they both mean on a certain day?

They are both day-of-the-week forms, but the exact ending changes depending on the shape and sound of the word.

For example:

• hétfő → hétfőn
• szombat → szombaton

This is partly regular and partly something learners usually memorize as fixed forms. The weekday forms are:

• hétfőn = on Monday
• kedden = on Tuesday
• szerdán = on Wednesday
• csütörtökön = on Thursday
• pénteken = on Friday
• szombaton = on Saturday
• vasárnap = on Sunday

So the important thing is: Hungarian expresses on Monday / on Saturday by changing the day word itself.
