Hi Maltese learners! 😊
In this lesson, we will learn how to say and write the days of the week in Maltese. We will also provide interesting cultural information and examples to make it more fun and memorable.
Introduction
Days of the week in Maltese are very similar to English, as both come from Latin. However, Maltese days of the week have some unique features that we will explore in this lesson.
Days of the Week
Here's a table with the Maltese days of the week, their pronunciation, and their English translation:
| Maltese | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Il-Ħadd | eel-had | Sunday |
| It-Tnejn | it-teen | Monday |
| It-Tlieta | it-lee-ta | Tuesday |
| L-Erbgħa | ler-ba-aa | Wednesday |
| Il-Ħamis | eel-ham-is | Thursday |
| Il-Ġimgħa | eel-jim-a | Friday |
| Is-Sibt | is-sibt | Saturday |
A unique feature of Maltese is that the days of the week are capitalized, unlike in English. Another interesting fact is that the Maltese word for Saturday, "Is-Sibt", comes from the Hebrew word "Shabbat". This reflects the strong influence of the Jewish community in Malta throughout history.
