Sunday, week - nedelja
Monday - POnedeljak (this prefix PO is actually a preposition that can mean: after, on something, etc
In this case, Monday comes after Sunday and it indicates the beginning of the next week as well.
Tuesday - utorak
Wednesday - sreda (it comes from "sredina" which means medium. So, it indicates the middle of the week).
Thursday - četvtak (the root is ČET which indicates us it is the 4th day of the week).
Friday - petak (the root is the number 5 itself, so it indicates us it is the fifth day of the week).
Saturday - subota (it is the sixth day of the week. Plus, for Jewish people it is the the day they do not work and they call it "sabat")
Exercise:
So, what day of the week is today:
Koji je danas dan u nedelji?
