Days of the Week[edit | edit source]
Here are the days of the week in Southern Kurdish along with their English translations:
| Southern Kurdish | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| rojînber | rō-jîn-bêr | Monday |
| seşem | se-şem | Tuesday |
| çarşembe | cha-rşem-be | Wednesday |
| pêncşembe | pênj-shem-be | Thursday |
| în | în | Friday |
| şemî | shê-mê | Saturday |
| yekşem | yek-şem | Sunday |
It is worth noting that the days of the week in Southern Kurdish are derived from Persian. For example, "seşem" means "third day" in Persian, which is used for Tuesday in Southern Kurdish.
In Kurdish culture, each day of the week has a unique significance. Fridays are particularly significant and are considered a day of rest and religious observance. Many Kurdish families gather together on Fridays for prayer and a shared meal.
Here is an example dialogue to help you practice using the days of the week:
- Person 1: Rojînber in? (What day is it today?)
- Person 2: Rojînber'e. (It's Monday.)
