Korean Vocabulary (Days of Weeks)

Learning the days of the week in Korean is the best thing you can do if you recently became interested in learning Korean. Learning the days of the week is very practical and quite essential. If you are a fan of K-pop especially BTS or K-drama in general, it’s possible that some of the Korean weekdays sound familiar to you.

 

Days of Week in Korean

Monday 월요일(wolyoil)

Tuesday 화요일(hwayoil)

Wednesday 수요일(suyoil) 

Thursday 목요일(mogyoil)

Friday 금요일(geumyoil)  

Saturday 토요일(toyoil)

Sunday 일요일(illyoil)

 

However, to make sure they are completely memorized by your brain, we are going to look at how these words were formed. This little trick applies to any language, not just Korean language.

All days in Korean end in 요일(yoil) which translates to ‘day’ in English. As you can see that remains a single Korean character at the beginning of each of the seven words. Here’s what each day in Korean means in English:

  • 월(wol) in 월요일(wolyoil) Monday means ‘moon’
  • 화(hwa) in 화요일(hwayoil)Tuesday means ‘fire’
  • 수(su) in 수요일(suyoil) Wednesday means ‘water’
  • 목(mok) in 목요일(mogyoil) Thursday means ‘wood’ or ‘tree’
  • 금(geum) in 금요일(geumyoil)  Friday means ‘gold’
  • 토(to) in 토요일(toyoil) Saturday means ‘soil’ or ‘earth’
  • 일(il) in 일요일(illyoil) Sunday means ‘day’ or ‘sun’
