Italian Language Game: Days of the Week
Quick Italian Language Game: Days of the week
Level: Beginner (A1)
Playing Time: 2 1/2 minutes
Learn and practice Italian days of the week with this fun interactive game.
For English speakers, Italian Days of the Week are not that easy to remember, except maybe, for sabato (Saturday).
(For those who are familiar with the Spanish or French days of the week, it's a little easier.)
But, if you play this game a few times, you'll quickly get the hang of it!
It's helpful to remember that the words for Monday through Friday end in "-dì": lunedì, martedì, mercoledì, giovedì, venerdì.
The words for Monday through Saturday are masculine. The word for Sunday is feminine.
In Italian, the days of the week are not capitalized.
As you play, say the words OUT LOUD and imitate the speaker.
Italian Days of the Week
- lunedì - Monday (m)
- martedì - Tuesday (m)
- mercoledì - Wednesday (m)
- giovedì - Thursday (m)
- venerdì - Thursday (m)
- sabato - Saturday (m)
- domenica - Sunday (f)
- la settimana - the week
