Example Sentences

Use this simple structure to talk about what day it is today. - Il venerdì vado al cinema. – On Friday I go to the cinema.
The preposition “il” (on) is used before days: il lunedì, il martedì, etc. - La domenica è il mio giorno preferito. – Sunday is my favorite day.

Tips to Remember the Days
At first glance, you’ll notice that most Italian days look a bit different from English ones — but many end in -dì, which means “day”. That makes them easier to remember!
Here’s how to memorize them effectively:
- Listen and repeat – Say each day aloud three times a day for a week. Focus on pronunciation — especially Mercoledì and Giovedì.
- Connect with your routine – Think of what you do on each day. For example: Il lunedì lavoro. (I work on Monday.) La domenica riposo. (I rest on Sunday.)
- Use flashcards – Write the English name on one side and the Italian name on the other. Test yourself until you can recall them easily.
- Practice with a calendar – Change your phone or computer calendar to Italian for a week! Seeing the days daily helps them stick naturally.
With just a few minutes of daily practice, you’ll soon be saying all the days of the week in Italian without even thinking about it.
