Die Woche
Except for Mittwoch (which literally means mid‑week!), each day of the week ends with Tag. In the US, the first day of the week is Sonntag, but in Germany, the calendar starts with Montag!
Morgen ist Montag.
Tomorrow is Monday.
Tomorrow is Monday.
Ich mag Freitag!
I like Friday!
I like Friday!
Like Hump Day in the US, Mittwoch is also known as Bergfest, to celebrate making it to the midweek mountain top!
A good day wish I you!
To say which day something is happening, use am:
Ich komme am Mittwoch.
I come on Wednesday.
I come on Wednesday.
In English, we generally put time phrases like am Dienstag and täglich towards the end of a sentence. In German, they go directly before or after the verb. You might feel like you’re talking like Yoda, but it’s totally normal!
Die Reise beginnt am Dienstag.
Am Dienstag beginnt die Reise.
The trip begins on Tuesday.
Am Dienstag beginnt die Reise.
The trip begins on Tuesday.
Bis Freitag!
Bis can be used in a few different ways! Take a look!
Ich zähle bis neunzig.
I count to ninety.
I count to ninety.
Sie kocht in der Küche, bis alles fertig ist.
She is cooking in the kitchen until everything is done.
