Days of the Week

Central Kurdish has a five-day workweek. The weekend consists of Friday and Saturday, like in other Middle Eastern countries.

Here are the days of the week in Central Kurdish:

Central Kurdish	Pronunciation	English
رۆژی شەممە	roji şemame	Monday
رۆژی دووشەممە	roji duşemame	Tuesday
رۆژی سێشەممە	roji se şemame	Wednesday
رۆژی چوارشەممە	roji çwar şemame	Thursday
هەینی	haini	Friday
شەممە	şemame	Saturday
یەکشەممە	yek şemame	Sunday

As you can see, the days of the week in Central Kurdish are quite straightforward, with most of them ending in "ەممە" (emme) which means "day" in Kurdish.

Here is an example dialogue so you can see these words in context:

• Person 1: سڵاو، ئەمەش چا کەوتوو پێدرا؟ (Slaw, emeş ca kevotuw pedera?) (Hello, how was your day today?)
• Person 2: چەم جوان دا دۆكتۆریە، بەجۆرمی دوو شەممە دۆزیم. تۆ چی کرتی پێدرای؟ (Chem jawan da doktoriye, bejormi du şemame dozim. To chi krti pedray?) (I am young, a doctor, I work two days a week. What about you?)

One thing to note is that talking about Friday is a sensitive topic in Iraq, Kurdistan, and other Muslim countries because it is the day of worship in Islam. So, it's best to be mindful of this when engaging in conversation.

If you want to practice more with these words, you can use the Find native speakers and ask them any questions you may have! And, if you want to expand your Central Kurdish vocabulary, you can check out the "Days and Months" section of your language learning platform. Studying and practicing regularly is the best way to improve your skills.
