Unit 5: Days of the Week

In Easy Korean, learning the days of the week is simple once you memorize the first syllable. Every day ends in 요일 (day of the week).

The Days

• Monday: 월요일 (Moon day)
• Tuesday: 화요일 (Fire day)
• Wednesday: 수요일 (Water day)
• Thursday: 목요일 (Wood/Tree day)
• Friday: 금요일 (Gold/Metal day)
• Saturday: 토요일 (Earth day)
• Sunday: 일요일 (Sun day)

Asking the Day

• 오늘 무슨 요일이에요? (What day is it today?)
• 오늘은 금요일이에요. (Today is Friday.)

Using Time Particles

To say "on Monday", you attach the time particle -에 to the day. - 월요일에 만나요. (Let's meet on Monday.) - 주말에 뭐 할 거예요? (What will you do on the weekend? 주말 = weekend)
