Grammar Tip: Talking About Days in Greek

To say something happens “on” a certain day, Greek typically uses the preposition τη(ν) before the weekday in the accusative case. For example:

• Τη Δευτέρα έχω μάθημα. – “I have class on Monday.”
• Την Παρασκευή πάμε σινεμά. – “On Friday, we’re going to the movies.”

You may also encounter expressions like κάθε Δευτέρα (“every Monday”) or την άλλη Τρίτη (“next Tuesday”).
