Greetings again lovers foreign languages, in particular German. It's been a while German selections and so I decided to please, and maybe upset some readers website. Basic German vocabulary- This is probably the most important aspect for all beginning students.

At the moment I am trying to break down all the important German vocabulary in sections by topic, because I think this method of studying is more productive and effective. To be honest, I don’t know which share of site visitors is greater: or, but if you think logically, it’s probably English :), because it’s not the same educational portal for world languages. This does not prevent me from creating dictionaries, because German is exactly the language that I still need to study for a long time and productively.

Today I invite you to familiarize yourself with names of the days of the week in German plus others important words from this topic. As always, you will receive different formats of dictionaries - this is both in a regular document and in the format for Lingvo Tutor. The correct article before a word is also an important point in learning German, but here you don’t have to worry, because in German there is always an article before any day of the week DER.

I have also prepared other similar vocabulary (all in one dictionary), which is quite often missed when studying the days of the week. Words like gestern, heute, morgen, übermorgen should always be in your memory. Some will say that these are elementary words, but sorry, not everything is here "advanced" German speakers. I wish you good luck in your studies and patience in everything.

The seven-day week owes its origin to Ancient Babylon, then the new periodicity spread among the Romans, Jews and Greeks and later reached Western Europe.

Days of the week in European languages associated with the names of planets that are named after Roman gods. In this regard, the days of the week in European languages ​​have a common etymology. However, the origin of the days of the week in German has certain differences. The Germanic tribes glorified primarily the German-Scandinavian gods, corresponding in their role to the Roman gods, this fact was manifested in the names of the days of the week.

Montag - "day of the moon" refers to the moon goddess.

Dienstag - this day is associated with the name of the German-Scandinavian sky god Ziu (Tiu, Tyr, Tyr), is an analogue of the god of war Mars. In Germanic mythology, Ziu was considered the god of military valor.

Mittwoch (Wodanstag) - the day of the week is named after the German-Scandinavian god Wodan (Wodan, Woden, Wotan. Woden is a god who became famous for the invention of the runic alphabet, in connection with this a parallel can be drawn with the god Mercury.

Donnerstag - this day of the week owes its name to the German-Scandinavian god of thunder (weather) Donar (Donnar), who is identified with Jupiter.

Freitag - the day of the week got its name from the German-Scandinavian goddess of love and fertility Frija (Freya, Frigga), which corresponds to the Roman goddess Venus.

Samstag - this day is not directly related to the name of the planet and deity, but comes from the Hebrew word Sabbat (Sabbath). But the concept of Sabbatai is based on the combination Stern Saturn (the star of Saturn).

Today we will tell you about quite interesting topic, such as days of the week. On German their name and etymology are different from ours native language, and it’s quite funny, so let’s talk a little about that too.

After all, something influenced the primary name of these very days, and the names invented by someone once stuck and reached the present moment.

So, first, let's just list the days of the week in German:

der Montag - Monday,
der Dienstag – Tuesday
der Mittwoch – Wednesday
der Donnerstag – Thursday
der Freitag – Friday
der Samstag/Sonnabend – Saturday
der Sonntag – Sunday

I will say right away that each of the names of any day of the week in German will be masculine because they end in –tag. By itself, the word tag means day.

And you probably noticed that the name of Saturday can be variable and has several different names. However, only the first of them belongs to the official version and, by the way, is used much more often.

Now let's talk about the etymology itself and the differences in it between German and Russian languages.

Let's start it all days of the week in German at first.

So, Monday. If in Russian this means next week, then our German the analogue comes from the name of the goddess der Mond, who was the goddess of the Moon.

Wednesday, according to the etymology of the word in these languages, is the same and means the middle of the week, although, in theory, the middle day of the week is Thursday.

And the etymology of the word Thursday is again different and the Russian language uses the numeral “four” in its name, and German does not disdain the name Donnar, who is similar to the god Jupiter.

Friday - everything is simple here, from the word fifth in Russian, and the loving Scandinavian goddess, who was also a symbol of fertility - Freya.

For the sixth day of the week - Saturday, there is something in common between our languages, and more specifically, both the Russian and German name of the word comes from the word Shabbat, which originally came and spread from the Jews.

Initially, this word is of Hebrew origin and is based on a combination of the words star of Saturn. However, there is another name for this word. Sonnabend is the same day off that comes before Sunday. In the GDR this was the recognized name for the Sabbath. As for Sunday, it is formed from the word “resurrect”, and in German, the analogue name follows from the name of the Sun God.
