sunday - sun day monday - moon day tuesday - tiu's day wednesday - woden's day thursday - thor's day friday - frey's day saturday - saturn's day in your language, what is the root of your day-names? As you see, most of the English ones comes from Norse Mythology (Tiu (from Tyr, war god), Woden (Odin - king of the Gods), Thor (God of Thunder), Frey (goddess of fertility) |

I've worked out some French ones: Lundi - Moon Mardi - Mars Mercredi - Mercury Jeudi - Day of Play? Vendredi - no idea Samedi - no idea Dimanche - . . . no idea ! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lunes - dia de la luna (moon day) martes - (mars day) miercoles - (mercury´s day) jueves - I dont know viernes - venus´ day sabado - sabath hebreo domingo - dominus (day of the lord) |

very interesting! thank you, Iggy ! so that's most of English French Spanish explained! just a few gaps in the last two! so I'm guessing Dimanche is similar ot 'Domingo', and 'Samedi' similar to 'Sabado'. I'm unsure what Venus is in French, let me check. *Consults his French dictionary*..oh, it's vénus...hmm, so we still have 'Vendredi' definately to clear up. . . and 'jueves' -- what is 'Jupiter' in Spanish? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah could be jupiter |
||||||||

in slovenian: not very imaginative im afraid ponedeljek- it means day after sunday torek- it doesnt mean anything ?? sreda - it means middle - i guess for middle of the working week cetrtek- fourth day petek - fifth day haha sobota - no meaning again ?? nedelja - it means day when you dont work |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|

"ju" viene de "dyeu", dios, y "piter", padre _____________________________ ju comes from dyeu which is god and piter from pater, padre (father) so its kind of the day of god JUEVES, de "Iovis dies". day of Iovis (another origin of god) day of god |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Is this all fact? Orr just bullshit that sounds rright? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Nice research there Iggy :) I think Iovis is also the old name for Jupiter (who was ancient Greece's main deity). |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
or is it Ancient Rome - sometimes I get mixed-up with the interchangeable Gods ! A·P· -- the English ones are all factual. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in fact jueves and jupiter have the same origin Ioves |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, italian names are just about the same to french and spanish ones i should do something about changing names in my language this is quite embarrassing... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so the spanish list is clear now... though I doubt about VIERNES and SABADO still |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
italian , spanish and french come from latin all the three languages and english has some latin origins too (remember romans got to the islands too) but just a little |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dydd Sul (Dydd)Llun Mawrth Mercher Iau Gwener Sadwrn Mm. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
btw, saturday in our language is sobota and sabato in italian and sabado in spanish what's with this - it has no meaning in slovenian either... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Seems I misunderstood the question. And I'm fucked if I'm finding out the rest, I'm off to get cunted. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Viernes is from Venus and Sabado is related to Sabbath and just means Seventh Day. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Probably to do with the Sabbath, the day of rest. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
in that case our names are completly wrong as we call the day prior to saturday the 5th day... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The English day names tend to come from Germaic Gods and Celestial objects, the Spanish come from Roman Gods and Celestial Objects :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Sunday is officially classed as the first day of the week in the UK, with Saturday being the last, the traditional day of rest, the Jewish Sabbath :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
exactly so. But most people here now regard Monday as the first day I believe. You could tell Sunday was the first day as it's dedicated to the SUn ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I hate Mondays. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Maandag - Moon Dinsdag - ??? Woensdag - Wodan Donderdag - Thunder/Thor Vrijdag - Freya Zaterdag - ??? Zondag - Sun pretty much the same as marlow said |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
patrik vieira? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|

||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
*marlowE!!!!!!!!! *rolls up like ball in corner to protect self from getting beated by marlowE* |
||||||||
|
|

| |||||||||
|
|
El Hadji Diouf :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
whyever are you cowering in the corner? :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, that is dutch :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ecnadniarb : what you said about sbado is exactly the real origin (jewish sabbath,seventh day, though its now sixth) thanks, I just checked that out and we agree about viernes, so the spanish list is now complete and clear |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, right, OK! :D I think 'Zaterdag' is probably Saturn too :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so type out the full Authorised Spanish Version! :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I think so....we were taught these things on primary school, but my memory is not THAT good. :D BTW I cowered in the corner because I had misspelled thy Name ;) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
The Dutch day names where converted from Roman to Germanic. Dinsdag is actually dedicated to Tyr the Norse God of war and justice :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is an awesome thread. I think if we figure out the origins of every languages days-of-the-week then we might open up some kind of vortex or something.. ..6.. 6...6 yay! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
:D hehe, I'm used to people missing out the E at the end :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've been meaning to make this thread for about two weeks - I'm often to be found walking home to my flat musing on it - well, the French day-names anyway - I was trying to work out the ones I didn't know :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
lunes - dia de la luna (moon day) martes - (mars day) miercoles - (mercury´s day) jueves - day of god ("Iovis dies") viernes - venus´ day sabado - jewish sabbath domingo - dominus (day of the lord) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Tyr the Norse God of war and justice" ...also known as Mars. looks like we got another one. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
either you're really interested in these things or you have a damn good memory |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes the dutch names where taken from the Roman names and converted to germanic form by relating the days to norse gods etc. :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
even though there are hiundreds of languages, I am sure that the origins of those names are no more than 4 or 5 different fonts |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Hence we now have the Link between Tuesday (Eng.) and Mardi (Fr.) !! What a fine detective thread this is! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Damanche in French is actually a derivitive if the latin phrase dies solis (day of the sun) so basically it is the same as the other languages again :D |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
so spanish domingo is the only language to have sunday as day of the lord? |
