Usage

Days of the week are like any other noun in Kannada. They can be used to talk about the day, to describe when an event occurred or is going to occur, and to arrange future plans.

Here is an example of a dialogue using the days of the week:

• Person 1: ಸೋಮವಾರದಿಂದ ಹುಟ್ಟುವವರೆಗೆ ಟ್ರೈನ್ ಯಾವಾಗ ಬರುತ್ತದೆ? (sōmavāradinga huṭṭuvavarege ṭrain yāvāga baruttade?) ("When does the train come from Monday to Sunday?")
• Person 2: ಎಂದುಕೊಳ್ಳ ಲ್ಲಿಲ್ಲ ಕಂಡುಬಂದಿದೆ. ನಾಳೆ ಮತ್ತು ನಂತರ ಹುಡುಕಬೇಕಾಗಿದೆ (endukoḷḷa lilla kandubandidē. nāḷe mattu nanthara huḍukabēkagide) ("I don't know yet. We must look tomorrow and later.")

Fun facts

- In Kannada, the first day of the week is Sunday, unlike some cultures where the week starts on Monday. - The days of the week are named after the planets in Indian astrology. Bhānu means "sun," sōma means "moon," maṅgaḷa means "Mars," budha means "Mercury," gurū means "Jupiter," śukra means "Venus," and śani means "Saturn."

Now that we know the days of the week in Kannada, we can start scheduling and planning our weeks like a pro!
