- thaumasiotes 11y agoI feel safe in claiming that I speak for thaumasiotes when I say I didn't mean it that way. > it's true that Chinese generally consider Monday the beginning of the week My cousin comment responds to the claim that you can tell China begins the week on Monday because its name is "week one", 星期一. That claim is problematic; China does begin the week on Monday, but the name doesn't prove so.
