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
You can go to this page: http://glottist.com/mandarin/chinese-mandarin-lesson-2-numbers-simple-wordsexpressions/
They have video to teach you how to pronounce Chinese numbers~
