Hello Hugarian learners 😀
Here is how write the Days of the Week in Hugarian:
Days of the Week in Hungarian (writing & origin)[edit | edit source]
| English | Hungarian | Origin |
|---|---|---|
| Monday | Hétfő | begining of the week. 'Hét' - means week (and also it means the number 7), 'fő' - means (here) head. |
| Tuesday | Kedd | derived from the word second: 'Kettedik' (a bit archaic) |
| Wednesday | Szerda | Slavic influence. |
| Thrusday | Csütörtök | Slavic influence (4th day) |
| Friday | Péntek | its origin is debated, maybe Slavic or Greek influence |
| Saturday | Szombat | refers to the Jewish 'shabbat' |
| Sunday | Vasárnap | derived from 'vásár' and 'nap', meaning market-day. |
