Note that the Scottish Gaelic alphabet has fewer letters than English. However, the language has several diacritical marks or accents, which change the sound and meaning of the language. Some of these letters have been modified to reflect the modern era's requirements, but they still retain their unique pronunciations! 🔤

Contextualizing vocabulary is essential because learners can understand the usage of words in a specific setting. Suppose you communicate with native speakers through [https://polyglotclub.com Polyglot Club], you will realize people will use Scottish Gaelic idioms and phrases which form an intrinsic part of the language. Here is a dialogue to help you contextualize the days of the week:


* Person 1: Ciamar a tha thu an-diugh? (How are you today?)
* Person 2: Tha mi gu math, tha e Diluain. (I am fine, it is Monday.)


Now you can form simple sentences using the days of the week! 🗣️


== Cultural Information ==


In Scottish Gaelic folklore, days of the week used to be named according to the activity or event of the day. For example, Monday was called Di-luain or day of the washing. Tuesday was celebrated as the day that the washerwomen took a rest. Wednesday was the day people in Ireland and Scotland paid their taxes. The day was called Di-ciadain or the day of the first fast, as taxes made people fast. Thursday was the day when people wore special clothes to celebrate, so it was called Diardaoin or the day of the clothing. Friday was when people did lots of work in the fields, so it was called Dihaoine or the day of the oats. Saturday was the day when Scotsmen went to the markets, and it was called Disathairne. Finally, Sunday was the day of worship, and it was called Didòmhnaich. 🧐
