Lesson Twenty-Four: Today, Tomorrow, And Everyday Of The Week! (Part Three)


Welcome back, is everyone ready to finish up this series of lessons today?
Of course you are what a silly question otherwise you would not be reading this, so let us get started.

星期   Xing1  Qi2
今天   Jin1  Tian1
昨天   Zuo2  Tian1
明天   Ming2  Tian1
星期一  Xing1  Qi2   Yi1
星期二  Xing1  Qi2   Er4
星期三  Xing1  Qi2   San1
星期四  Xing1  Qi2   Si4
星期五  Xing1  Qi2   Wu3
星期六  Xing1  Qi2   Liu4
星期天  Xing1  Qi2   Tian1
星期日  Xing1  Qi2   Ri4


Picking up where we left off last lesson.
星期五 ( Xing1 Qi2 Wu3 ) ( it means Friday )
星期六 ( Xing1 Qi2 Liu4 ) ( it means Saturday )
星期天 ( Xing1 Qi2 Tian1 ) ( it means Sunday )
星期日 ( Xing1 Qi2 Ri4 ) ( it means Sunday )

You will notice that both 星期天 and 星期日 both mean Sunday. I find from personal experience that it is split about 50/50 with which one people will use the most, so it is important to remember both words.

See you all next time on Zhongwen Study 中文學習。
