Polish doesn't use those names, but a different system:
Poniedziałek (lit. After not working)
Wtorek (not sure)
Środa (also not sure)
Czwartek (lit. the fourth)
Piątek (possibly means drinking day?)
Sobota (not sure)
Niedziela (Not working)
- divbzero 4y ago‘Sobota’ resembles ‘sábado’ in Spanish and might refer to the Sabbath?
- vxNsr 4y agoThose all loosely resemble the Russian names, and as the other commentator noted “Sobota” sounds a lot like “Sabbath”
- codedokode 4y agoWtorek probably means "the second day", and Środa means "middle". Piątek probably means "fifth".
- lioeters 4y ago> Piątek (possibly means drinking day?) The word means "the fifth day", from piąty (fifth) rather than pić (to drink). Wtorek (Tuesday) comes from wtóry, meaning "second". Środa (Wednesday) is from środa, meaning “middle”. Sobota (Saturday) is from Hebrew שַׁבָּת (šabbāṯ), meaning the Sabbath.
- KSPAtlas 4y agoOh yeah, I guess I was tired and didnt make the connection
