Meaning of the days of the week in Russian
Posted: Apr 29th, 14, 16:48
I have a question about the origin of words.
In English the days of the week have some meaning:
Sunday = Day of the Sun
Monday = Day of the Moon
Saturday = Day of Saturn
What about the days of the week in Russian? Do they also have some meaning? I can guess that maybe пятьница has something to do with the number 5 or четверг with number 4. But what about the rest? Anyone can help me with it?
Thanks!
