Days of the Week[edit | edit source]

In Tigrinya, the days of the week are easy to remember as they directly translate to "first day," "second day," "third day," and so on. Here is the list of days of the week in Tigrinya:

Tigrinya Pronunciation English
ሰንበት senbet Monday
ማክሰኞ maksegnoy Tuesday
ረቡዕ erbue Wednesday
ሐሙስ hamus Thursday
ዓርብ arbye Friday
ቅዳሜ kedamay Saturday
እሑድ ihud Sunday

It is important to note that in Ethiopia and Eritrea, the calendar is different from the Gregorian calendar used in the West. The Ethiopian calendar has 13 months, and the first day of the week is Sunday. Sundays are generally reserved for religious observance, with large gatherings at the Orthodox Church. On Saturdays, which are the 6th day of the week, many people gather to visit friends and family. Weddings are traditionally held on Wednesdays, as it is considered a day of good luck.

Dialogue[edit | edit source]

Here is an example dialogue to help you see the days of the week in context:

  • Person 1: እሑድ ብዕላ ትሕቲ ትግርኛ ሃለዊ ኣትማትና? (ihud bela thiti Tigrinya halewiatmna?) (What day is it today in Tigrinya?)
  • Person 2: እሑድ። (ihud) (Sunday.)

Additional Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

To improve your Tigrinya Vocabulary, you can also use the Polyglot Club website. Find native speakers and ask them any questions. You can also check out our [Language/Tigrinya/Vocabulary|vocabulary] page for more useful words and phrases in Tigrinya.

💡 Fun Fact: In Eritrea, there is a celebration called "Hamus bloat" where people dance in the streets, wearing green, blue, and yellow (the colors of the Eritrean flag) on Thursdays. The celebration was started during the country's fight for independence.
