    Study Notes

    Days of the Week

    The days of the week have been observed since ancient times and are used in various cultures worldwide. The names of the seven days of the week were derived from the Roman naming system based on the seven celestial bodies visible to the naked eye. In English, these are:

    • Sunday: Derived from Old English "Sun's Day"
    • Monday: Derived from Old English "Mōnadæg" or "Moon's Day", "Mani's Day"
    • Tuesday: Derived from Old English "Tīwesdæg" or "Tiw's Day", named after Tīw or Týr, the god of war
    • Wednesday: Derived from Old English "Wōdnesdæg" or "Woden's Day", named after Odin, the Norse god of poetry and wisdom
    • Thursday: Derived from Old English "Þūnresdæg" or "Thor's Day", named after Thor, the Norse god of thunder
    • Friday: Derived from Old English "Friğedæg" or "Freygesdæg", named after Frigg or Freya, goddesses associated with fertility and motherhood
    • Saturday: Derived from Old English "Sāturnsdæg" or "Sāturns' Day", named after Saturn, the Roman god of agriculture

    In most Western countries, the first day of the week is Sunday, followed by Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. However, in some countries, the weekend starts on Saturday.

    Greetings

    In some cultures, farewells can be quite elaborate and may include gifts, ceremonies, or even special rituals.
