@@fabricio725 Actually “feira” comes from Latin “feria”, which means holiday. “Segunda-feira” was originally the name of second holiday in the Holy Week, hence the name. “Segunda-feira”, “terça-feira”, “quarta-feira”, “quinta-feira” and “sexta-feira” eventually replaced the original Portuguese weekdays “lues”, “martes”, “mércores”, “joves” and “vernes”.

Turkish words for days of the week aren't really names. In pre-Islamic, pre-Christian times days of the week had names with pagan connotations (like Thursday, which was originally Thor's Day and Friday, which used to be Freyja's Day) So Turks kinda numbered their days in Ottoman /Seljuk Turkish: Tuesday = Salı (meaning: The third) Wednesday = Çarşamba (meaning: the fourth day) Thursday = Perşembe (meaning: the fifth day) Friday = Cuma (meaning = the gathering, as in gathering together for prayer) Saturday = Cumartesi (meaning = after the gathering Sunday = Pazar (the bazaar) Monday = Pazartesi (after the bazaar)
In Hungarian, hétfő comes from hét + fő, meaning head of the week, kedd is a shortening of *kettedik*, meaning second, and vasárnap comes from vásár + nap, meaning market day (bc markets were usually held on Sundays). Also, csütörtök and péntek are of Slavic origin.

The Turkish name for Friday - cuma, is phonetically convergent with the Polish word dżuma meaning plague (disease), and phonetically similar to the word чума (chuma) in East Slavic languages, in Bulgarian and Macedonian, which also means plague (disease). The Turkish name for Wednesday - çarşamba is phonetically convergent with the Polish words "czar szamba", which mean the charm of the cesspit.
Have no idea of the etymology of cuma, but çarşamba is of persian origin. The full range of week days like these exist in Uzbek, starting from şanba (Saturday) and all the way to paişanba (Thursday), and finally cuma. Here are they: şanba yakşanba duşanba seşanba çorşanba paişanba cuma Şanba itself is of semitic origin. So it has nothing to do with Polish.
Do you know if the second half of the word, “viikko”, is related to English “week” and its other Germanic cognates? It might just be a coincidence, but I’m a bit curious and I somewhat suspect that it may be one of many cases where a Proto-Germanic word was borrowed into and somewhat preserved in Proto-Finnish.
In Latvian, the name of Sunday sounds like it has Slavic origins. Holy or Saint in Latvian is svētais which is similar to the Polish word święty, and day in Latvian is diena which is similar to the Russian word den'. Svētdiena literally translated into English means Holyday or Saintday. According to Wikipedia, Sunday in Albanian is "e diela". According to the Albanian Wikipedia, this name comes from the name the word sun. The sun in Albanian is dielli, "e" means "of", "of the sun" is "të diellit", and "of sun" is "e diellit". Phonetically, the Albanian name for Sunday sounds as if it comes from the Serbian name of the sunday - nedjelja, the "n" was removed, and the ending "lja" was replaced by "lë" (according to Glosbe, Sunday in Albanian is also "e dielë"), then changed to "la", and the separate spelling came from the suggestion that "e diela" came from "e diellit".
The Polish word "dzień"=day as well.Are you looking for allies? What? You mean not "sun", but "sunday" in Serbian? "Nedjela" is Slavic for "do not work".
@@swetoniuszkorda5737 "The Polish word "dzień"=day as well.Are you looking for allies?" The Latvian word diena is more similar to the Russian den' than to the Polish dzień. "What?

There's an awful lot going on here, but perhaps the most remarkable is the 'Asteartea' in Basque and 'Antradienis' in Lithuanian, linking two apparently totally unrelated languages. It's notable that Slovak is closer to more geographically distant Slavonic languages when it comes to 'Pondelok' than it is to the Czech 'Pondělí' and most of the other days of the week seem to be like this. In the case of 'Dydd Mawrth' and 'Máirt' those are quite close to 'Marţi' while the same goes on for 'Dydd Mercher' and 'Miercuri'.. It's notable that Finnish shares the literal meaning of middle of the week with all of German and the Slavonic languages, putting it at odds with its fellow Fenno-Ugrian language across the Gulf of Finland, that being literally 'Third Day', as 'Kolmapäev', presumably also as in 'Trešdiena' and 'Trečiadienis' next door in Latvian and Lithuanian. Obviously, the Hungarian 'Csütörtök' should be coloured as the Slavonic languages, with Finnish again being closer to the Germanic languages than it is to Estonian's 'Neljapäev', literally 'Fourth Day', again just like 'Ceturtdiena' and 'Ketvirtadienis', which both have clear relationships with all of the Slavonic languages. A word like 'quatre' or other Romance languages comes to mind here. There's some Hungarian-Polish friendship in play with 'Péntek' and 'Piątek', which would both be pronounced the same. I think Finnish 'Perjantai' might be influenced by the Germanic languages in an indirect sort of way. 'Piektdiena' and 'Penktadienis' are both clearly influenced by the Slavonic languages. 'Reedel' may also be influenced by the Germanic languages, I think. Should not 'Samedi' and 'Samstag' be linked by colour differently from all the red-coloured days referring to the 'Sabbath', like 'Zaterdag' should be in pink along with 'Saturday', 'Satharn' and 'Dydd Sadwrn'. That's good that 'Lauantai' is finally closer to Estonian 'Laupäev', with 'Sestdiena' and 'Šeštadienis' clearly referring to a 'Sixth Day'. Finally, we have Finnish being influenced by the Germanic languages. All of the Slavonic languages have their words for 'Sunday' literally meaning 'Do Nothing' , with most of the words for 'Monday' literally meaning 'The Day After Sunday'. Incidentally, I should imagine that the Lithuanian 'Sekmadienis' may be influenced by the Slavonic words for 'Seven', thinking of the Czech 'Sedm' and Slovak 'Sedem'. I should think that 'Vasárnap' should be coloured the same as 'Pazar' and 'Bazar'. Also, what about 'Dydd Sul' and 'Sol' in Spanish, referring to the Sun? Could that be a case of a „Sprachbund“ between the Slavonic languages and the Albanian 'E Dielë'? It's quite remarkable that the Greek 'Kyriakí' is so clearly related to the Armenian 'K'iraki' and Georgian 'Kvira'. On investigating the meaning of the Latvian 'svēt' I note that it's probably related to words such as 'svatý' meaning 'holy' or 'Saint' in Czech. Estonian 'püha' also means 'holy', so that is another similarity in literal meaning.
Friday in Estonian is “reede”, not “reedel” (on Friday). And yes, it derives form the Germanic Freitag/Fredag. Therefore, should be in green. And Finnish “maanantai” should be in orange, akin to “Mandag” etc.
Slavic, not « Slavonic » And piektdiena means fifth day, from piektā (fifth, feminine) + diena (day). Both parts are easily recognizable as very similar to their respective Indo-European roots
@MapsCharts Sorry if my using the term 'Slavonic' upset you in any way. I can see the similarity to SLAVIC languages ;-) in that Latvian for 'Friday' and to Hungarian, too.
More correctly, each Irish name would have "Dé" before it. Dé Luan, Dé Máirt, Dé Céadaoin. Not Thursday tho. That's just Déardaoin. "Domhnach" is also a grammatical form of "Dé Domhnaigh"
I believe that Old Celtic and Old Latin languages had similar spelling. When the Romans were invading Ancient Gaul, Caesar wrote orders in Greek to command his army, because the Gauls could comprehend Latin easily.
I don't really understand why you're having a problem with these Polish words. These are all simple, 2-3 syllables except for monday. Almost feel like you meant to write this under a different video
Days of the week are pretty self-explanatory, actually: Poniedziałek - "[the day] after Sunday", Wtorek - "the subsequent [day after Sunday]", Środa - "the middle [of the week]" (exactly the same logic as in German Mittwoch), Czwartek - "the fourth [day after Sunday]", Piątek - "the fifth [day after Sunday]", Sobota - "shabbat", Niedziela - "[the day of] not working".
My guess is that their mother tongue is another germanic language so German is naturally closer to that than Polish. The fact that German and Polish are compared might be because these languages were the only options for their modern language class. If I was a pole, I wouldn't take it personally. It does look like the polish words feature even less vowals than german words which can look "weird" then. And there are extra letters like ł, Ś, ą. German extra letters exist too, they just don't appear in the days of the week. Also, almost each day ends with -tag (-day). So I can see why it'd look easier at first glance. Obviously they don't speak Polish so the argument "The words are easy if you understand them" is no use if the initial comment was made based on vision. In reality, the german days have even less obvious meanings beyond -tag but I guess, they can appear easier.
Actually it' vice versa. Russian sunday = voskresen'e, which literally means "resurrection", and in the other slavic languages sunday literally is "week".
