Los Dias de la Semana ( days of the week )
Punctuation comes first in spanish because it helps people realize what they are trying to say.
To ask what day is today in spanish you say "¿Qué dia es hoy?"
To say "it's" in spanish you say "Es", so before you say a day you say "Es lunes(monday)"
"hoy" means "today" in spanish.
"dias"= day
*THE DAYS OF THE WEEK IN SPANISH ARE NOT CAPITALIZED*
lunes = Monday
martes = Tuesday
miércoles = Wednesday
jueves = Thursday
viernes = Friday
sábado = Saturday
domingo = Sunday
If someone were to ask you "¿Qué día es hoy? ( what day is today? ) you would respond.
Es lunes. ( it's monday )
¿Qúe día de la semana es? means "What day of the week is?" in spanish.
semana = week
So if someone asked you "What day of the week is 5 of october?"
you would respond: "Es el martes" ( it is tuesday. )
"el" = is in spanish
Real life application: someone is asking what day it is and what day of the week.
