Hello everybody,
In today's lesson you will learn some useful vocabulary about "TIME" in Latin.
The days of the week in Latin are derived from the Latin words:
- for the Sun (Sol),
- the Moon (Luna)
- and the five known planets (Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus and Saturn).
Below is a table showing the name for the day of the week in English, followed by the equivalent name in Latin.
Happy learning ! 😊
