Grammar Insight: Planetary Names and Suffix Usage
Hindi weekday names are derived from Sanskrit and connected to celestial bodies:
- Ravivār (Sunday) — from Ravi, the Sun
- Somvār (Monday) — from Som, the Moon
- Mangalvār (Tuesday) — from Mangal, Mars
- Budhvār (Wednesday) — from Budh, Mercury
- Guruvār (Thursday) — from Guru, Jupiter
- Shukravār (Friday) — from Shukra, Venus
- Shanivār (Saturday) — from Shani, Saturn
The suffix –vār (वार) means “day,” so each name literally translates to “[Planet] Day.” You can also use ko to mean “on,” as in Somvār ko = on Monday.
