| Ukrainian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|

| Неділя | neh-DEE-lya | Sunday |
Now, let's learn how to use these words in sentences and conversations.
Using the Days of the Week[edit | edit source]
1. To say "on" a specific day of the week, use the preposition "у" (in) followed by the day of the week in the locative case. For example:
- У понеділок я йду на роботу. (oo poh-neh-DEE-lok ya ydoo na roh-BOH-too) - On Monday, I go to work.
2. To talk about something happening in the future on a specific day, use the preposition "в" (on) followed by the accusative case of the day of the week. For example:
- В суботу ми йдемо на вечірку. (v soo-BOH-too mee y-deh-mo na veh-CHEER-koo) - On Saturday, we are going to a party.
3. If you want to say that something happened on a specific day in the past, use the preposition "в" (on) followed by the locative case of the day of the week. For example:
- В середу я був на концерті. (v se-REH-doo ya boov na kon-TSEH-ree-tee) - On Wednesday, I was at a concert.
4. When talking about recurring events or activities that happen on a specific day of the week, use the word "кожен" (every) followed by the genitive case of the day of the week. For example:
- Кожної п'ятниці я ходжу в кіно. (kozh-NO-yi pyat-NY-tsi ya khod-zhoo v KEE-no) - Every Friday, I go to the cinema.
