#022: Days of the Week / Giorni della Settimana
Days of the Week | Giorni della settimana
Below are some important points of grammar to remember when using the days of the week:
- The days of the week in Italian are masculine except for la domenica | Sunday
- The days of the week in Italian are never capitalized
- Preposition do not precede the days of the week:
Vado al cinema lunedì.
I’m going to the movies on Monday.
- When a day of the week is preceded by the definite article (il or la), it signifies a habitual action:
La domanica andiamo in chiesa.
On Sundays we go to Church.
We go to church every Sunday.
- To ask what day of the week:
Che giorno è oggi?
What day is today? or What day is it?Oggi è sabato.
Today is Saturday.
*NB: the change in the stress for both sabato and domenica; domenica is the only day of the week that is feminine.
