Learning how to say the days of the week in Spanish is a great way to add some basic vocabulary to your Spanish language arsenal. The following guide will show you exactly how to say each day correctly, so that you can start using them right away! The first thing you need to know when it comes to saying the days of the week in Spanish is that all seven are masculine nouns. This means they must always be preceded by an article such as ‘el’ or ‘los’ depending on if you are talking about one specific day, or multiple days respectively.
Monday: lunes (loo-nays)
Tuesday: martes (mar-tayz)
Wednesday: miércoles (mee-air-koh-lez)
Thursday: jueves (hooev-ez)
Friday: viernes (veer – nays )
Saturday: sábado (saah – bah – doh)
Sunday : domingo(doh – meen – goh )
When speaking informally, many native speakers tend not drop off part of the word for certain days like Tuesday and Thursday. For example, instead of saying “martes” they may just say “mar” and instead of saying “jueves” they may just say “jue” but this isn’t considered proper grammar and should only be used in informal conversations with friends or family members who understand what you mean. It’s best practice to use full words when speaking formally or writing out sentences since leaving off parts can make it difficult for others trying to learn from your sentence structure.
Don’t forget that if there is ever any doubt as which article should come before a particular day name then simply use el/los regardless; this applies even if there are two separate words involved like Saturday which would become el sábado rather than los sábado because we’re still referring back singularly at one point in time during that week period!
