You are viewing a single comment's thread:

And to say Sunday, you say "week 7".

Hehe Sunday is a little different, where they don't actually use 7. More like "week sun". Haha.

Now, I haven't gotten to that part in Chinese were one would need to distinguish between Monday and "week 1" as in the 1st week of something. How do they do that? I do not know yet.

The terms used are different. When we say "week 1", it's understood as Monday. For 1st week of something a rough translation will be just "1st week".

I guess it also depends where the terms are used. Just like English, there's variations across British and American English. The Chinese terms used by Chinese in China, or Chinese in other parts of Asia might differ slightly as well.

You messed me up! And I though I know to count to 7. Now I only know to count to 6. 🤣

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback! I learned two more things today thanks to you.
