European languages comparison - Days of the week 

They are much religious in past, because this they remove pagan gods name of weekdays and the part feira becomes from feriado, holyday in portuguese.

@@Matheus-wg5nq wow that’s crazy they removed everything but the sabbath

@@pelletrouge3032 sabbath originaly is a jewish event, because this they keep, like happens with easter, and domingo is derived from latim world for God, Dominica.

@@Matheus-wg5nq How did dominica become dios, deus, dieu, ect.?

@@pelletrouge3032 yeah, i think.

Luni Marți Miercuri Joi Vineri Sâmbătă Duminica in ROMANĂ

@@TOMAS13128 Super. Eu vorbesc și limba armânească.

@@saebica eu înțeleg și un pic aromâna . Multe din cuvintele din aromâna încă se mai găsesc in vocabularul romanilor in special la bunici la țara .

@@TOMAS13128 Lexicul se aseamănă în proporție de 70% iar gramatica arată, de fapt, reguli vechi, dintr-o latină vulgară pe care româna le-a pierdut.

Very similary to romanian! But i don't understand how romanian and aromanian are so close even tho, there is no connection between romanians who always lived north of the Danube and aromanians who lived very far in the south.

Scandinavians seem to be more pragmatic.

Yes, I recently found out that Bulgarian language uses “perst”, “usta” and “oko”. Every Russian knows this words, mostly from books of old writers or from fairy tales, but now no one uses them in regular speech. By the way, what “usta” means in Bulgarian? It’s mouth (“rot”) or lips (“guby”)?

@@user-mv2pr6fl8x" Usta "means mouth, but lips is "ustni".

@@vladg3296 In archaic Russian “usta” means “lips”.

In Poland we also use „oko” and „usta” in modern language

How did Saturn and Juiter get swapped?

@@klausolekristiansen2960 Oops I got them wrong, they are not swapped lol

I thought Japan named their week days after the Chinese 5 element system🤔

@@stvk99 On the surface the names of the day do look like the Chinese 5 element system, but it does go deeper than that. Like the example of Wednesday, which is Mercurii in Latin. Mercury is "Water Planet" (水星) in East Asian languages, and so the day is named after that, as "Water Day". The 7 weekday system originated in Ancient Greece, then transmitted to Ancient China. By then, the naming of the days through celestial objects was brought in as well, the spread to other East Asian civilizations.

@@cuongpham6218 really interesting, thanks for sharing :)

Copy from hebrew

alright pal, tell that to basque

Our week names are the worst IMO

Bit are easiest to learn lmao

That is not correct. Feira comes from féria, that is, a day of rest. Which is ironic, because the days named with feira are the workdays nowadays. It was done so because some clergymen thought it wasn't very Christian to have days of the week named after pagan gods, so they used the name given to a few days of the year that used to be rest days. The first part of the name is the ordinal position of the said day in the week, meaning the Lusophonic week starts on Sunday, not on Monday.

portuguese inherited this from the moor arabs

Also the Slavic languages and Hungarian. Hétfő (monday) - "head" (leader, first) of the seven Kedd (tuesday) - second Szerda (wednesday) - from Slavic Sreda "middle" Csütörtök (thursday) - from Slavic Cetvrtak "fourth" Péntek (friday) - from slavic Petak "fifth" Szombat (friday) from sabbath Vasárnap (sunday) - "market day"

@@barkasz6066 in portuguese monday is the 2nd day of the week, and every day is a market day except for the weekend days

​​@@oravlafulthis "market day" thing is just because it has changed over time. Originally it wasn't "feira" (market) but rather "féria" (vacation/holiday). So all the the days from Monday to Friday are 2nd to 6th "rest days" and Sunday was "Lord's day"

@@luizfellipe3291 Must be funny to live in Portugal, every weekday a holiday! 🙂

i agree with the last point and its really cool that yk this stuff

''Неделя'' as Sunday in Russian is archaic. ''Воскресенье'' means ''Resurrection'' (the day when Jesus ressurected) while ''неделя'' means not doing anything.

Very much like the Portuguese then!

🏳️‍🌈🇬🇷🏳️‍🌈🇬🇷🏳️‍🌈🇬🇷🏳️‍🌈🇬🇷🏳️‍🌈

Very much like hebrew

Гулять 7 дней подряд, вау 😂

До прихода христианства воскресенье тоже было неделя. А неделя была седьмица.

Язычники-нехристи! 😂

То что у нас все семь дней называются неделей это вообще прикол. Даже интересно как так получилось

​@@-secondjesus-3100бездельники

@@user-dk8fb1rj4gобрезанному очень смешно

@@KPACAB4IK23 я вообще языческие названия дней недели в английском имел. А ты не понял нихрена юмор. Так что, извинись!

In Slovakian, it is streda, štvrtok, piatok. And it has following meanings. Streda is from the word stred, which means middle, it is logically in the middle of the working week. Štvrtok is from the word štvrtý - fourth and piatok from piaty - fifth. So yes, it has clearly Slavic origin. Sobota/Szombat is also similar, but here the word has Hebrew origin, coming from the Jewish Sabbath.

Thanks for telling me, I was wondering if people would like this kind of music. I have a limited playlist to choose from but I will reuse some of the older songs for future videos ;)

And similar to sicilian.

Yes, beecause romanians are derived from Albania. It is close to Sicilia.

@@The_TV_Intro_Channel Dude, are you insane? How can you say Romanian(Getae-Dacians who were Thracians) were Iliryians?

@@The_TV_Intro_Channel No they aren't lmao, and the reason why Romanian and Sicilian are relatively the same is due to same development from Vulgar-Latin. Being closer to a region doesn't form almost same words d*mbass

@@The_TV_Intro_Channel You're probably Hungarian, right? :) Only Hungarians have such good "jokes". :) Frustration ...?!

@@saebica Actually, it's not 100% clear who Getae-Dacians were, there are some theories who claim they were Thracians and others who claim they were close to Illyrians. But the thing about Sicily is just one of the crazy Albanian theories, I remember there was a post on subreddit badlinguistics on that topic

In swabian dialect of German language, the days end with ,ich''- Meedich, Daischdich, Dooschdich, Freidich, Samschdich, Sonndich. Only Mittwoch is spoken Middwoch. So some funny guys surprise the people with Middwich as Joke.

It has the same meaning for Finnish, "keskiviikko"

Руссские просто воскрешаются, потому что с ними бог

And it translates as "resurrection" even though resurrection is spelled slightly different than Sunday in Russian.

Скажи спасибо церкви

It comes from Hebrew, so it's a very old word.

Exactly the same meanings in Polish. Slightly different pronunciation and spelling: Poniedziałek Wtorek Środa Czwartek Piątek Sobota Niedziela

​@@pawelzielinski1398It's the same in Czech too.

In all Slavic languages, the days of the week have the same roots in the name, which come from the Old Slavic language. Nedelja, nedela is a non-working day (ne+dela). Ponedeljak, ponedelnik, ponedelok is the day that comes after nedelja. Utorak, Vtornik, Utorok is the second day and its root is the Old Slavic word vtor. Sreda, Streda marks the day in the middle of the week. Četvrtak, štvrtok the fourth and petak, piatok the fifth. The name for subota, sobota is borrowed from the Hebrew language for sabbath. As for the Russian name voskresenie, apparently it comes from the time when the Russians received Christianity, and before that the name was nedelya, which has remained to this day, but in the form of a name for all seven days. Btw that's the case with all Slavic languages in which all seven days are called nedelja, nedelya or sedmica which is derived from number sedam - seven.

​@@pawelzielinski1398кроме последнего очень близко к русскому

Actually the Hungarian word for Sunday "vasárnap" also means something like "Day of bazaars". vásár (/bazár) = market (/bazaar) nap = day Fun fact: "Pazar!" in Hungarian means something like "Magnificent!/Great!/Cool!", "tesi" is a word for P.E. lessons in school. So "pazar tesi" is a very good P.E. lesson for us, which is funny :D

​@@richardv321Csak nem egy magyarba botlottam? 😮

Thanks for the Turkish words and explanations. Could you give me all the Persian words for days of the week too?

@@miklosdavid7627 Monday : doshanbe (second day) Tuesday : seshanbe (third day) Wednesday + Thursday + Friday : same as Turkish, see above Saturday : shanbe ("day/saturday"), this word actually comes from Hebrew shabbat. Sunday : yekshanbe (first day)

Vasárnap comes from vásár+nap = market+day. Vásár is a Persian loanword with the same meaning (cognate with Bazaar). If pazar is of the same origin, they're cognates indeed (except for 'nap' which is of unknown origin)

German Montag/ french Lundi- moon. Dienstag/ Mardi- Day of wargod Diu( Tiu) , Mars. German Mittwoch and icelandic word : Church had the Power to replace Wotan/ Odins day with , middle of the week'. But Wednesday and Mercredi- Day of wandering god, Merkur and Wotan ( when wandering arround). Donnerstag/ Jeudi- Day of lightning god, Donar ( Thor) and Jupiter. Freitag/ Vendredi- Day of beautyfull godess , Freya and Venus. In large parts of Northern Germany the Samstag/ saturday is called Sonnabend, literaly Evening before Sunday.

Maybe near the border,but ask someone from santiago if it's Xoves or quinta feira

Do you know the name??

​@@MOKKASAN321XD Mindme - Cut off

Pazar is also a rarely used word for great in Hungarian. Our word for Sunday probably has similar origins: Vasárnap/Vásárnap(?) would mean the day in which the marketplaces/markets are open or literally just 'market day'.

@Blazedolf In Serbia we sometimes use Pazar as Pazariti, which means to buy something, and we also have our word "kupiti" to buy

Even after the review, I didnt notice, my bad..

@@TheLanguageWolf no worries :) I made maps like these myself and quality control is a big headache. Anyway thanks for the upload :)

Also in German language the Wodanstag ( Wednesday, Woensdag in english and dutch), became for christian reason Mitwoch ( Mid of Week). A piece of fun: In my swabian dialect of German the days are( english/ Standard German/ Swabian: Monday/Montag/Medich, tuesday/Dienstag/ Daischdich, Wednesday/Mittwoch/ Middwoch, thursday/ Donnerstag,/Dooschdich, friday/ Freitag/Freidich, saturday/ Samstag/ Samschdich and sunday/ Sonntag/ Sonndich. Now some funheads make fun and say Middwich, because swabian days end with ,ich''. So your ,midvik(udagur) is clearly reconizeable :-)

You should have burn him back in the day

In the European part of Russia there are Tatar, Bashkir, Karachay-Balkar, Kumyk, Nogai, Crimean Tatar, Chuvash languages. They weren't shown either. They should also be similar to Turkish. At least remotely.

@@niki6969. I agree.

Azerbaijani would almost be identical

All days of the week in Portuguese are Christian names. The "feiras" are based on the Roman Catholic liturgical calendar. Sábado obviously comes from Sabbath, and Domingo is the Lord's Day (the day Jesus Christ was resurrected; hence it is not called "Primeira-Feira").

@@ab-fi6ks thanks for the response. I'm familiar with sábado / domingo, as I can speak Spanish. I'm just surprised that despite calling each weekday by number you didn't enumerate Sat and Sun as, well. It's kind of strange to have the 2nd day, without having the 1st. I've already read in some of the comments here, that it's due to the strive to get rid of all the non-Christian names. As sábado and domingo are Christian or Christian related, they were kept as they are. Hope, I got it right.

I believe you're correct, one doubt is the 6000 years between hungarian and finnish (suomi).

In scandinavia it means Day of bath not sabbaton

Besides russian 'niedelya' means a week (tydzien).

Wann genau würdest du Sonnabend statt Samstag sagen? Ich frage aus Neugier

@@TheLanguageWolf Sonnabend wird in Norddeutschland eher verwendet. Und Samstag vom Rest

I will ;)

Manche germanischen Stämme nannten den Kriegsgott Tiu, andere wohl Diu, ebenso ist es mit Wodan und Odin, bzw. Thor und Donar. In den romanischen Wochentagen stecken die selben Götter drin, Tiu/Mars oder Freya/ Venus, Mond/ Luna. Lediglich Merkur wurde mit Wodan als Wanderer verwechselt und Donar wegen der Blitze mit Jupiter.

Porque no es tal especifica como a dentro de países

While the word doesn't have similarities with the other Romance languages, it is still derived from Latin like the others

Because I forgot to change it!!! my bad, the etymology is the following: from Latin cēna pūra (literally “pure dinner”)

@@TheLanguageWolf Why did they associate "Friday" with "pure dinner"?

​@@dibujodecroquis1684it is because Friday you could not eat meat, religion purposes. Now everybody eat meat but there were no reason to change a name that everybody used for centuries

no

Haha you can't group words like that ,just because you find some letters of the word similar. In Slavic language it means non-working day,in Albanian comes from Diell meaning sun,so it means the day of the Sun like in English.

Erte means after in Turkish, si is an owning adjuct. So, Cumartesi means after Cumsday. Cumartesi and Cumaertesi are both same meaning but Cumartesi used more than Cumaertesi in Turkish, like Pazar and Pazartesi; Pazar is actually means bazaar, Pazartesi means after bazaar
