Useful Words and Expressions Related to the Days of the Week in Czech

The Czech language follows a consistent and logical pattern when naming the days of the week. Most of the names come from Slavic roots and reflect either ordinal numbers or the structure of the week:

• pondělí – Monday – from po neděli (“after Sunday”)
• úterý – Tuesday – possibly from the Slavic word for “second”
• středa – Wednesday – from střed (“middle”)
• čtvrtek – Thursday – from čtvrtý (“fourth”)
• pátek – Friday – from pátý (“fifth”)
• sobota – Saturday – from the Hebrew “Sabbath”
• neděle – Sunday – from ne dělat (“not to do”) – a day of rest

To say “on Monday” or “on Sunday,” Czech uses the preposition v before the day: for example, v pondělí = “on Monday”. The days are usually used in the locative case when indicating time.

This small but important part of Czech vocabulary will help you sound more natural and fluent. Once you’ve mastered these words, you’ll be able to talk about your plans, routines, and past events with ease.
