It's not easy remembering the days of the week, even if you are a native speaker.
It's like learning to tie your shoelaces.
I remember struggling for a long while till I finally managed to tie my own shoelaces. What an achievement that was, and yet how easy it is now.
I don't remember learning the days of the week in English, because I must have been rather young. However, learn them I did.
I'm sure you had some problems learning the days of the week in your own language.
I mean, it's not as if the days of the week coincide with anything on a particular day, is it?
If the moon was always full on a Monday, it would make sense to call it Monday, wouldn't it?
Monday means Moon Day. Unfortunately, the full moon can occur on any day of the week.
And if Tuesday was always sunny, we could call it Sunday. Unfortunately, Sunday is already spoken for.
And Sunday is not always sunny, is it? And even if it is where you live, all the other days probably are as well, so that doesn't work, does it?
Tuesday is actually named after the old Norse god, Týr, known in Old English as Tiw. Hence Tuesday.
Tiw was the god of war, equivalent to the roman Mars. This is why romance language use Mars for Tuesday, as in the Spanish martes.
But we don't normally bump into gods of war on Tuesdays, or any other day of the week for that matter. There's nothing to relate the name Tuesday with the day, is there?
And then there's Wednesday. Not exactly pronounced as it is written, is it? Wednesday.
Wednesday is named after the god, Woden. Woden has connections with the Roman god, Mercury, which is why Romance languages use Mercury to name the day, as in the Spanish miércoles.
If only English could have been more sensible about naming the days of the week. It would have made it much easier for everyone.
The Germans ditched the name Wodanstag in the tenth century and replaced it with the altogether more sensible Mittvoch, which means mid-week. Most Slavic languages, like Bulgarian, Czech and Polish, use similarly sensible names for Wednesday.
Other languages go even further. Portuguese call it the fourth-day, as do Arabic, Hebrew and Persian.
In these, and many other languages, Sunday is classed as the first day of the week so that Monday is the second, Tuesday is the third and Wednesday is the fourth. In England, Sunday is normally considered to be the last, or seventh day of the week.
I'd be interested to hear what you call the days of the week in your language. Please tell me in the comments below.
Another old Norse god gives us the name of the day after Wednesday. This time it's Thor, the god of thunder.
This would be sensible if it was always thundering and lightning on a Thursday. We'd have something to associate it with, wouldn't we? But it doesn't, does it? It can thunder on any day of the week.
I mean, Frigg!
That's right, Frigg, the Norse goddess who was queen of Asgard, the place where all the gods lived.
What on earth are the associations we are supposed to make with Frigg and Friday?
Frigg was the goddess women used to call upon to help them during childbirth. This would be great if babies were only born on a Friday. Then it would have been easy to remember, wouldn't it.
All babies are not born on Friday. Take me for instance. I was born on a Saturday, and Saturday is named after the Roman god, Saturn. He presided over agriculture and the time when the ripe crops were gathered in -- the harvest.
Of course, the harvest doesn't always take place on a Saturday, any more than all the babies in the world are born on a Friday. So, what are we supposed to associate with the day of Saturn?
By the way, when were you born? Let me know in the comments, would you?
As long ago as 1838, and probably a good deal earlier, someone came up with a rhyme to help children remember the days of the week.
There are many versions of this aid to memory, or mnemonic.
It's also supposed to predict the kind of person you are going to turn into, depending on the day you were born.
This is the most common modern version.
Monday's child is fair of face,
Tuesday's child is full of grace,
Wednesday's child is full of woe,
Thursday's child has far to go,
Friday's child is loving and giving,
Saturday's child works hard for a living,
But the child that's born on the Sabbath day
Is bonny and blithe in every way.
