Days of the Week
All days of the week in Spanish are masculine. Notice that they are never capitalized unless they appear at the very beginning of a sentence.
| English | Spanish |
|---|---|
| Monday | el lunes |
| Tuesday | el martes |
| Wednesday | el miércoles |
| Thursday | el jueves |
| Friday | el viernes |
| Saturday | el sábado |
| Sunday | el domingo |
| The week has seven days. | La semana tiene siete días. |
Saying "On" a Specific Day
In English, we say that something happens "on" a certain day. In Spanish, you simply use the masculine article el. Do not use a word like en to say "on".
| On Monday I go downtown with my friend. | El lunes voy al centro con mi amigo. |
| On Tuesday I visit the museum. | El martes visito el museo. |
To talk about something you do regularly (like "on Mondays" or "every Friday"), use the plural article los.
For Monday through Friday, the name of the day already ends in -s, so the word itself doesn't change. Just change el to los.
| On Mondays I am always tired. | Los lunes siempre estoy cansado. |
| On Fridays I do not work. | Los viernes no trabajo. |
For Saturday (sábado) and Sunday (domingo), you must also add an -s to the end of the day, just like you would with a regular plural noun.
| We have the match on Saturdays. | Tenemos el partido los sábados. |
| On Sundays I sleep a lot. | Los domingos duermo mucho. |
