In this lesson, we are going to introduce the names of the days in a week.
월요일 [wo-ryo-il] = Monday
화요일 [hwa-yo-il] = Tuesday
수요일 [su-yo-il] = Wednesday
목요일 [mo-gyo-il] = Thursday
금요일 [geu-myo-il] = Friday
토요일 [to-yo-il] = Saturady
일요일 [i-ryo-il] = Sunday
The only part that changes in the names for the days of the week is the first letter. The second and the third letters together, 요일 means “day of the week” and 월, 화, 수, 목, 금, 토, 일 are the unique names of the days.
월 [wol] = the Moon
화 [hwa] = fire
수 [su] = water
목 [mok] = tree
금 [geum] = gold, iron
토 [to] = earth, soil, ground
일 [il] = the Sun
Many of the names for the days of the week are related to the names of the planets in our Solar System.
화요일 = Tuesday / 화성 [hwa-seong] = Mars
