Jin Tian Shi Xing Qi Ji (Week: What day is it today?)


Jin tian = today
shi = is
xing qi ji = what day / which day
Jin tian shi xing qi ji = What day is today?




We've learned how to count 1~10 in Chinese before.
If you can do 1~10 counting...
It's very easy for you to remember Monday~Sunday in Chinese...

Let's review the 1~10 numbers in Chinese:
yī (1)    èr (2)    sān (3)    sì (4)    wǔ (5)    liù (6)   qī (7)    bā (8)   jiǔ (9)   shí (10)

Refer to below table to learn Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday... to Sunday in Chinese:















Except Sunday, other days are simply "Xing Qi(week)" + number
Easy, right?

Sunday = "xing qi tian" or "xing qi ri" ---> both are fine
