Days of the week in Uzbek

Learning the days of the week is one of the first steps toward using a new language in daily life. Whether you’re planning your schedule, booking a trip, or simply talking about your routine, knowing how to say the days in Uzbek will help you feel more confident and connected.

Uzbek uses a seven-day week, just like English. Many of the names are derived from Persian or Arabic, and they follow a regular pattern. Below, you’ll find a table with the Uzbek names for each day of the week, along with pronunciation audio.

To talk more naturally about time in Uzbek, it’s also helpful to know words like “today,” “tomorrow,” and “weekend.” The table below covers these essentials so you can build more complete sentences in your conversations.

Note that the word dushanba (Monday) literally means “second day” — since the traditional week in Persian culture began on Sunday. Similarly, shanba means “Saturday,” and yakshanba means “Sunday,” or “first shanba.” These patterns are helpful to recognize once you know the roots.
