They wouldn't let him call it George, so instead they called it... Uranus? In terms of how many jokes would be made about this planet's name, it probably came out about even.
in the past, the order is as follows: Moon Venus/Mecury Mercury/Venus (not sure) Sun Mars Jupiter Saturn In Zechariah Sitchin's work, even if Earth is said to be the seventh planet, if you use our counting, the seventh planet would correspond to Saturn, which looks yellow. No wonder Zechariah Sitchin's seventh planet (Earth) is full of gold...
@@georgedeedsnotwords2162 Ah! Didn't even think of that. Putin is also from olde latin...... 🤔 Though, I have got to admit I've never heard them call Uranus that other word.
In Sweden. Many days are named after our ancient gods.. Monday - Moon day. "Måndag". Tuesday - Tyr. "Tisdag". Wednesday - Oden. (Onsdag). Thursday - Thor. (Torsdag). Friday - Freja. (Fredag). Saturday - Is the day we take a bath(??) (Lördag) Sunday - Is named after the Sun. Sol, Sunna/Sunne in Sweden. (Söndag).
Indeed, I would in fact say that this episode of StarTalk is perhaps one of the weakest so far in terms of solid evidence based argumentation. It is clear that Mr. Tyson does not know norse mythology very well with where he draws the comparisons, but then... That's not his expertise. ;)
It's the same in English, other than Saturday. The same gods. Of course Wednesday is Woden's day, as you Scandinavians have this habit of dropping W from the beginning of some words...like wool = ull and in Norsk wolf = ulv. I'm guessing Norse influenced Thursday, as it's no longer the full Thunor's day, like in Dutch and German.
I teach the week days in the same way Neil does it. So from now on, here is Neil and Chuck's video, and then "I would have told you the same exact thing".
You'll be more entertained to study how your ancestors developed these systems long before Europeans came out of their caves. Come visit the Mother Land, "Inzalo ye langa" in Mpumalanga, South Africa for a real education on the origins of Cosmology and Astrology. 70 000 years of history cannot be undone and that's just the beginning..
In India also we have different names based on the planet. Of course we have many different languages but the naming rules sames. This follow list is in Gujarati language. Sunday : Ravivar ( Ravi means sun , Var means day) Monday : Somwar ( moon day) Tuesday: Mangalvar ( Mars day) Wednesday: Budhvar ( Mercury day) Thursday : Guruvar ( Jupiter day) Friday : Shukrvar ( Venus day) Saturday: shanivar ( saturn day) ( edited: I want to clarify that India had also two additional planets in terms of astrology. Rahu and Ketu. These are shadow planets that were used to calculate eclipses. Interesting concept rather unheard of. )
Indian names so accurately match with the planets that I doubt the ideas were copied abroad. But yeah, u could be right, Indus is one one of the ancient, must be the father of all other civilization.
It could be the common Indo-European root with Hindi or Urdu, if you also consider the Norse and Anglo-Saxon (=English) names for the word. What speaks against this are the Slavic languages though, which follow a different logic (e.g. Wednesday in Proto-Slavic serda means middle of the week). So some Indian languages probably picked this up from the Indo-Greek connection through Alexander the Great and later, and ancient Germanic languages from the Romans, who again picked it up from the Greeks.
In Hindi it's straightforward. Sunday- Raviwar, Ravi means Sun and war means day. Monday - Somwar, Som means Moon Tuesday - Mangalwar, Mangal means Mars Wednesday - Budhwar, Budh means Mercury Thursday - Guruwar/Brihaspatiwar, Guru of all the planets Jupiter, Bharaspati means Guru. Friday - Shukrawar, Shukra means Venus Saturday - Shaniwar, Shani means Saturn
@@yashuchiha99Actually I believe it was the Greeks that taught them that system after Alexander took over the middle east and attempted to encroach into India.
In Romanian is : Luni - Monday Marți - Tuesday Miercuri - Wendnesday Joi - Thursday Vineri - Friday Sâmbătă - Saturday Duminică - Sunday All the best to you !
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
Wow! Is this coincidence or linkage. In the Akan culture of Ghana 'day' is also called 'da'. eg. Friday is known as Efiada, which means the day of Afia and we do same for all the seven
I’m a native Spanish speaker and am studying Japanese and when it came to learning the days of the week in Japanese I noticed this pattern of naming them in accordance with the original seven planets. As opposed to English and Spanish where the days of the week are named after the gods associated with each planet, the Japanese named them after their associated elements (with the exception of the Moon and the Sun). For example, 火 means “fire”, the element associated with 火星(kasei), the “Fire Star” Mars. Thus, Tuesday in Japanese is 火曜日(kayoubi) the “Fire Day” Then repeat this for the other planets. 水 = Water, 水星(suisei) = Mercury, 水曜日(suiyoubi) = Wednesday 木 = Tree/Wood, 木星(mokusei) = Jupiter, 木曜日(mokuyoubi) = Thursday 金 = Gold, 金星(kinsei) = Venus, 金曜日(kinyoubi) = Friday 土 = Earth, 土星(dosei) = Saturn, 土曜日(doyoubi) = Saturday. Monday and Sunday are simply named after 月(“the Moon”) and 日(“the Sun”) respectively, leaving 月曜日(getsuyoubi) as Monday and 日曜日(nichiyoubi) as Sunday. Somewhat related side note: Because Uranus and Neptune were discovered far after the others, they didn’t have an associated element, so in this case they were named after the gods. Uranus was named after Ouranos, the God of the Sky, so in Japanese 天王星 (tennousei) means the “The Sky King’s Star” Uranus. Neptune was of course named after Neptune, the God of the Sea, so 海王星 (kaiousei) is the “Sea King’s Star” Neptune.
I asked some of my Japanese teachers how the Japanese names and Western names matched up so well but nobody knew the answer. Of course, they taught Japanese and not history but I assume that it came from the West via China at some point long ago.
@@masonheipel The Babylonians created the seven-day week named for the moving lights of the sky more than 5,000 years ago. It is such a convenient coincidence that seven divides evenly into the 28 days of the lunar cycle that the system was adopted over and over again by Eurasian cultures as it spread along trade routes.
If you ever listen to anything while reading comments, let it be this - go to borlest and read the book whispers of manifestation, then come back and thank me
If it might help anyone that, like me, seemed interested by this, it took me 30 seconds of research to see that everyone is saying this book is a scam.
There is also a link between the seven planets with the seven known metals of the ancient times. Sun - Gold Moon - Silver Mercury - Mercury Venus - Copper Mars - Iron Jupiter - Tin Saturn - Lead Therefore, in Hindi, the metal gold is called 'sona' while the metal silver is called 'Chandi'. (Chand means moon)
The four humors or temperaments are related to the four element system of the previous times. Each humor/temperament is related to one of the four elements: earth, water, air and fire.
Its soo cool.... The same days of the week is given like our traditional calendar.... Thingal: Monday Sevvaai: Tuesday Budhan: Wednesday Vyaazhan: Thursday Velli: Friday Sani: Saturday Gnyaayiru: Sunday In the Tamil calendar, the days of the week are associated with celestial bodies in the solar system, starting with the sun and moving in order to the moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn. ITS SAME sir... Amazing 😇
In French, Monday is called (lundi), "Lune" is French for "Moon". Tuesday is called "mardi" (Mars) Wednesday is called "mercredi" (Mercury) Thursday is called "jeudi" (Jupiter) Friday is called "vendredi" (Venus)
@@Malik-Ibi Samedi = Saturne Dimanche = ... in latin, Solis dies (day of the Sun) has then been replaced by dies Dominicus... and then over the centuries slowly became Dimanche. (that is why the 'di' is at the begining)
Hey, I love Neil and Chuck, been with you guys for some time now.. But guys, you didn't explained "The reason we have 7 days in a week", ancient cultures often used 8 or 10 days in a week. 7 days in a week actually came from Babylonians. The Babylonians divided the 28-day lunar cycle into four weeks, each consisting of seven days. The number seven was significant as it represented the seven major celestial bodies that had been observed by the Babylonians. Later in history it even got a religious boost when the Bible described God creating the world in six days and rested on the seventh. For centuries the Romans used a period of eight days in civil practice, but in 321 CE Emperor Constantine established the seven-day week in the Roman calendar. I know nowadays the Ancient Mesopotamia history is not taught in school anymore, people tend to forget that. Just saying facts, no hate or anything! Stay sharp guys, good luck :)
I agree. The video explained why our seven days of the week are named what they are named but not how we got to seven days in the first place. It was more of a convergence of coincidences, where the goofy math of the ancient humans worked well with the celestial observations of the slightly less-ancient people, and then the plethora of god names we all came up with later were implemented after the fact. I doubt Babylonians bothered with god names for their week days but we will never know. Those guys seemed to be all about business and trade and probably just called them day one, day two, etc.
Maybe I'm tripping here, but I'm pretty sure the reason they gave for having 7 days in a week is because there was 7 observable celestial bodies. 7:10 to the end of the video is literally titled "Why We Have Seven Days" lol
It’s similar in Japanese: Sunday=日nichi for sun Monday=月 getsu for moon Tuesday=火 ka for fire Wednesday=水 mitsu for water Thursday=木 moku for wood or tree Friday=金 kin for gold Saturday=土 do for earth or soil Each kanji ends in 曜日, or “youbi,” which means “day.”
Also if you add star 星to the end of the kanji for Tuesday - Saturday you get the names of the planets 火星 - Mars 水星 - Mercury 木星 - Jupiter 金星 - Venus 土星 - Saturn
@jaspreet_singh_247 Egyptian astrology is older than Greek wheel but the Greek perfected it by understanding the ages,today Greek astrology is accurate I'm pisces
Hello Gentlemen, fun fact: Thursday in dutch is called Donderdag... wich translates back to Thunderday. So we named it after the sound Thor makes, but not after his own name.
Yes and no; it's named after Donar, the Thunderer, which is the proto-Germanic for Thor (just like how Wotan is the Germanic name for Odin, in Norway, Denmark and Sweden it's not Wednesday, it's Onsdag, directly from Oden's Dag or Odin's Day). Donar among the Germanic tribes, Thuner in the Old Frisian tribes, Thunar in Old Saxon, and then Þórr in Norse, the latter of which then became Thor (and despite the weird letters phonetically sounds very similar also).
In Hebrew, the days are just numbered: Sunday = Yom Rishon (Yom means day, Rishon means first. So - First Day) Monday = Yom Sheni (Second Day) Tuesday = Yom Shlishi (Third day) Wednesday = Yom Revi'i (Fourth Day) Thursday = Yom Hamishi (Fifth Day) Friday = Yom Shishi (Sixth day) Saturday = Shabbat (the origin for Sabbath. It comes from the word Sheva - seven, but also means to sit down doing nothing, resting, which is what Jewish people are supposed to do on Sabbath. The Torah specifically forbids working on Sabbath). Some interesting additional information - The Hebrew calendar is based on the movement of the moon, unlike the Gregorian calendar which is based on the movement of the Earth around the sun. 1. This difference creates a gap in the calendar (The Jewish year is shorter) so every four years another month (4 weeks) is added to avoid losing sync with the seasons (very important for agriculture). 2. The Hebrew date changes when it gets dark and there are 2 visible stars in the sky, meaning, the days - as in dates - are not the same length.
acutally s solar/lunmar calender not solely a lunar calendar. By the way if you have 13 months every month has 28 with one extra incalulary day or 2 in leap year and 1 or 2 incalulary days or 1 or 2 months with 29 days. If we went to 13 month calendar th last month could have the extra day(s) keep the calendar align though out the year.it would also allow each day to haves begining of the year 21 times out of 28 years allowing every weekday to have at least 84 first i day n 99 years and e in from 1901 to 2099 you have each year have 169 times at least each day startsthe new year.
A couple corrections, expansions Shabbat doesn't come from the root for seven (shin-beth-ayin) but from the root for cease (Shin-beth-tav) The extra month, in the Torah, is only added if you cannot find enough ripened (aviv) barley in Chodesh HaAviv (The first month) in time for the Sheaf offerings during Hagh HaMatzot (Passover). The Hebrew day begins at sundown, specifically described as Beyn HaArbayin (between the evenings or muddlings) generally understood as the time between when the orb of the sun drops below the horizon and when the light of the sun has dissipated.
Islamic calendar is purely based on The Moon but has similar nomenclature: yaum as-sabt يوم السَّبْت (sabbath day) yaum al-ahad يوم الأحد (first day) yaum al-ithnayn يوم الإثنين (second day) yaum ath-thalatha' يوم الثُّلَاثاء (third day) yaum al-arba`a' يوم الأَرْبعاء (fourth day) yaum al-khamis يوم الخَمِيس (fifth day) yaum al-jum`a يوم الجُمْعَة (gathering day)(Friday)
In Sri Lanka in Sinhalese we have Monday - “Sandu-Da” (Sandu means moon ) Tuesday - “Angaharua-Da (Angaharu means Mars) Wednesday - “Bada-Da” (Buda means Mercury) Thursday - “Brahaspathin-Da” (Brahaspati is Jupiter) Friday - “Sikura-Da” (Sikuru is Venus) Saturday- “Senasura-Da” (Senasuru is Saturn) Sunday - “Iri-Da” (Iru/hiru is Sun)
I was struggling to keep all the spanish days of the week memorized but now that i realize that spanish is just keeping with the names of the planets it makes it so much easier to remember. Thank you guys for helping me with my duolingo courses
In the ancient Hindu system of weekdays we get it quite clear.. Ravivara Ravi -- Sun Vara -- day Somvara Som -- Moon Mangalvara Mangal --Mars Budhvara Budh -- Mercury Guruvara Guru -- Jupiter Shukravara Shukra -- Venus Shanivara Shani -- Saturn
I had these talk at 10 with my science teacher who told me I was wrong. I figured it all out once I learned the names of certain Greek and Roman gods. she just matched the days of the week. That inspired me to go further. I wish I had a real science teacher.
For us semetic people, days of the week are named based on the account of the Genesis. The week starts with Saturday and this is how it goes in Eritrean. Saturday (Qedam) First day Sunday (Senbet) Rest Day Monday (Soni) Second day Tuesday (Selus) Third day Wednesday (Rebue) Fourth day Thursday (Hamus) Fifth day Friday (Arbi) Sunset day
Fascinating! Also, I’ve just found out that from Monday to Friday is different in Portuguese because, over the history, some religious people stated they couldn’t accept pagan names to be the days of the week. That’s why Sunday and Saturday are the same as in Spanish (Domingo and sábado) but the others are completely different
Greeks learnt about Astronomy from the Indians, including the planets and name of the days. European sources attribute the nomenclature of the weekdays to the Greeks or the Babylonians. However, there is scant evidence for these claims, and the claims are mostly based on conjectures, circular logic and uninformed opinions. However Indian system is explained by the 5th century Aryabhata and the even older Surya Siddhanta which is calculated to be over 7,300 BCE. From the (Aryabhatiya, KalaKriya Pada, Verse, 16): सप्तैते होरेशा: शनैश्चराद्या यथाक्रमं शीघ्रा:| शीघ्रक्रमाच्च्तुर्था भवन्ति सूर्योदयाद् दिनपा: || Meaning - The seven Grahas beginning with Saturn, which are arranged in the order of increasing velocity, are the lords of the successive hours. The Grahas occurring fourth in the order of increasing velocity are the lords of the successive days, which are reckoned from Sunrise (in Lanka). "Grahas" did not mean "Planet", it meant an astral object that grasps another astral object (e.g. ‘Graha’ approach-ing a nakshatra (star) - a visual delusion, of course). It also means an astral body that exerts attractive force on the earth.) The lords of the twenty-four hours (with hours being measured from sunrise at Lanka) are: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, respectively, and the lords of the seven days are: Saturn, Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, respectively. The lord of the day is the lord of the first hour of that day, the day being measured from sunrise. Surya Siddhanta has similar explanation (Bhugoladhyaya -78) मन्दादध: क्रमेण स्युश्चतुर्था दिवसाधिप: होरेशा सूर्यतनयादधोध: क्रमशस्तथा Starting from the Saturn downward, the fourth graha is called the lord of the day. The graha starting from the Saturn successively downwards are the lords of the hour. The only rational explanation for the nomenclature of the weekdays comes from an Indian source. No other culture provides any reason for why a particular graha (planet) is associated with a particular day of the week. Only the Indian Jyotish (Hora-shastra) provides the rationale, and not some folklore reason, but rather an astronomical one. Hindu concept of seven day week is much older and has other associated astronomical issues.
In Lithuanian - week days are coumpound words of number + day: Monday - PIRMAdienis - first day Tuesday - ANTAdienis - second day Wednesday- TREČIAdienis - third day Thursday - KETVIRTAdienis - fourth day Friday - PENKTAdienis - fifth day Saturday - ŠEŠTAdienis - sixth day Sunday - SEKMAdienis - arrives form next(SEKanti) day after saturday
As a native Spanish speaker, I found hilarious that Chuck remembered that long gone TV show of "Sabado Gigante" 😂. In that regard of Spanish day names, they left "Domingo" (Sunday) out, that's the exception to the planet-named days in Romance languages as this day means "Day of the Lord" (from the Latin "Dominus" = Lord).
Funny that he gave Chuck grief for using a Spanish word, "Sabado" saying they're doing it in English; then wants him to name the days of the week in Spanish that correspond to planets.
Good grief. I just checked and saw that it's been 9 years already since the show went off the air. It doesn't seem that long ago. I miss watching that show every Saturday night growing up
In Philippines (Tagalog) we called the days of the week same like in spanish. Monday- lunes Tuesday - martes Wednesday - miyerkules Thursday - huwebes Friday- biyernes Saturday - sabado Sunday - linggo
what would "linggo" translate to? Cuz in spanish Sunday is "Domingo" (which i can´t understand it's correlation to Sunday, given that "sun" in spanish is "Sol"

In India, language Sanskrit, several thousands year ago, named week days as.. ADIVAAR SOM VAAR MANGAL VAAR BUDH VAAR GURU VAAR SUKRA VAAR SANI VAAR all are planets names.
In the language Hindi, we use similar words for the planets and the corresponding days. The word Mangal (for Mars), Budh (Mercury), Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn). The same goes for the Sun, which is called Ravi. To write the name of the corresponding day, we just add the suffix 'var' to the planet name. Hence, the days are called Mangalvar (Tuesday), Budhvar (Wednesday), Brihaspativar (Thursday), Shukravar (Friday), Shanivar (Saturday). The same goes of Ravivar (Sunday). Interestingly, we also use the same word 'Graha' for a planet and a house.
@@octane2116 Somvar is used for Monday, while Moon is more commonly called Chand or Chandra. The word Som is a synonym of Chand. Interestingly, Moon is called Chand while the metal Silver is called Chandi. Similarly, the metal Gold is called Sona (Similar to the word Sun).
@@madhureddy7643 Wish..people had known then that the Sun and the moon are not planets whereas the Earth is a planet. We would have had six days in a week, with 4 working days and 2 days of weekend.
In Arabic the days from Sunday to Thursday are just named after the first 5 numbers respectively. But Saturday is named: السبت (which pronounced something like Sabbath) And Friday is : الجُمْعَة which means something like meeting day, and that make sense considering Islam since this is a special day were they go to pray together and stuff. But as far as I know these names exists before Islam. Note: I didn't search about those 2 days, I am taking just from my pov as a native speaker of Arabic and I grew up in a Muslim country so it a cultural context.
@@faieziabubakar207 In arabic and hebrew, it does. That's where Sabt in arabic and Shabbat in Hebrew come from. The seventh and last day of the week.
It's so much more mundane in Slavic languages. I guess we were brought in when the Classics were a little suspect, and local gods were not even legal. We have No-work, Post-no-work, Second, Middle, Fourth, Fifth, and Sabbath. The Portuguese OTOH go by which-feast: Godly, Second-feast, Third-feast, Fourth-feast, Fifth-feast, Sixth-feast, Sabbath. Note that numbers are off by one. It was such a shock for me too, when I found out that in my adopted country Sunday is the FIRST day of the week.
I kind of like the adding of -feast to almost every day. -Why are we celebrating? asked Piglet. -Because it Tuesday, Pooh answered. Make every day to a feast! :D
"POWER is the ability to define reality and to convince other people that it is their definition" Dr. Wade Nobles What were their Afrikan names before the coming of the Europeans?
The best naming is in Portuguese: Sunday - Domingo Moonday - segunda feira Tuesday - terça feira Wednesday - quarta feira Thursday - quinta feira Friday sexta feira Saturday - sábado So, "feira" comes from ancient Portuguese (or late Latin) meaning rest day ( this word also became férias - vacation in Portuguese). The other words are orinal nunbers (second, third, forth, etc) up to Saturday (that comes from Sabbath, the rest day). With this in mind, if we are talking about Monday, the name infere that this day is the 2nd day after the day that we must rest (segunda feira).
@@manasavuibaubatiwale3593 for Christians, the church day is Domingo (Dominus Day, that means day of the lord). I guess that the counting was referring to the day God rested after building the world, but I am not sure about that
@@alcarnielothat's because the Roman Catholic church said so. But the Bible's rest day, the sabbath, is the true worship day because it's mentioned as the sabbath of the Lord, the true day of the Lord. Jesus said that "he is Lord of the sabbath". This means the sabbath, sábado, is the Lord's day.
Very close to Greek with the exception of Friday, all others are the same in meaning. Friday in Greek, (paraskevi) means the preparation for the upcoming sabbath.
In Malaysia especially for the State of Malacca, the Portuguese colonized it from 1511 to 1641CE. Since Sunday is a holy or special day for the Christian Portuguese and the head of the Church was called Father Domingo or Saint Domingo I can't remember, Sunday became the day when people come to see this Domingo person. So, the natives had an alternative day to call Sunday as Hari Domingo which means the day when people meet Domingo. After couple centuries, Hari Domingo became Hari Minggu currently. The actual name for Sunday in Malay is Hari Ahad. But Hari Minggu stuck till this day as an alternative name for Sunday. Another theory is that since Domingo is also Sunday in Spanish and Portuguese, maybe that's where Hari Minggu came about in Malay.
In Sinhala language, we get the same sinhala name of the planet and add the day (දා) to end.

Indian weekdays naming method is more scientific considered planets: sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars, Jupiter, Saturn arrange them in slowest to fastest moving (days taken for one complete rotation around earth perspective) Ascending order - Saturn, Jupiter, mars, sun, Venus, mercury, moon in Tamil - sani, viyalan, sevai, niyayiru, veli, bhudhan, thingal consider the above in sequence for 24 hours - means Saturn 1st hour of a day, Jupiter 2nd hr. of the day and so on after 7 hours again repeat itself as Saturn 8th hr. of the day and so on so the 25th coming planet will start the next day which is sun 1 hr. of the next day. if we take all first coming planets of a day in sequence then: Saturn (sani), sun (niyayiru), moon (thingal), mars (sevai), mercury (bhudhan), Jupiter (viyalan), Venus(veli) if we arrange them as current sunday format then sun (niyayiru), moon (thingal), mars (sevai), mercury (bhudhan), Jupiter (viyalan), Venus(veli),Saturn (sani)

Not that anybody asked, but in Arabic, the days of the week are mostly just derived from numbers: -- Sunday = Al-Ahad = 1 -- Monday = Al-Ithnayn = 2 -- Tuesday= Al-Thulathaa = 3 -- Wednesday= Al-Arbiaa = 4 -- Thursday = Al-Khamis = 5 This leaves the exceptions: -- Friday= Al-Jumaa: kinda means the day of gathering / getting together -- Saturday = Al-Sabt: same origin as Sabbath Yeah, boring I guess, but hey, there is no god but God 😌
It just worries me how we present this nonsense to the general public, I’m an igbo man, igbo language is not complete, what you listed is called the four market days, which can fall into any day. Are there four days in a week or should the world adjust to four days because we are igbos? Since the igbo doesn’t have the translation yet, they spell those days according to the English sounds!

Sunday for professional sports and car races and church in the morning and barbecues in afternoon.. Monday for hangovers from The Weeknd..

I guess it was the same in Greece. You have the Day of the Lord (Domingo - Κυριακη), the second - fifth days (segunda, terça, quarta, quinta - Δευτέρα, Τρίτη, Τετάρτη, Πέμπτη), then in Greek you have the Day of Preparation for the Sabbath, Παρασκευή, because Jesus died on a Friday, then the Sabbath (sábado, Σάββατο). Originally in Greek the days beginning on Monday were called Ἡμέρα Σελήνης, the Day of Selene, the Moon goddess; Ἡμέρα Ἄρεως the Day of Ares/Mars; Ἡμέρα Ἑρμοῦ, the Day of Hermes/Mercury; Ἡμέρα Διός, the Day of Zeus/Jupiter; Ἡμέρα Ἀφροδίτης, the Day of Aphrodite/Venus; Ἡμέρα Κρόνου, the Day of Chronos/Saturn; Ἡμέρα Ἡλίου, the Day of Helios, the Sun god.

I would assume less with the Greeks, but more with older civilisations in Mesopotamia. They were the ones who likely "invented" the seven days week. And if you look at the map - Mesopotamia is right in the middle between India and the Mediterrenean. Ancient cultures influenced each other quite a lot.
I don't know how, I came across this channel, but glad I did.. Video had me 😂😂😂😂, and learning throughout the entire video! They can definitely be great teachers, would definitely have their class attention....
In Portuguese we made it simpler. It’s literally Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Shabat and Lord’s day. In Portuguese: Segunda, Terça, Quarta, Quinta, Sexta, Sábado and Domingo. Long ago the week started Sunday.
In Malaysia especially for the State of Malacca, the Portuguese colonized it from 1511 to 1641CE. Since Sunday is a holy or special day for the Christian Portuguese and the head of the Church was called Father Domingo or Saint Domingo I can't remember, Sunday became the day when people come to see this Domingo person. So, the natives had an alternative day to call Sunday as Hari Domingo which means the day when people meet Domingo. After couple centuries, Hari Domingo became Hari Minggu currently. The actual name for Sunday in Malay is Hari Ahad. But Hari Minggu stuck till this day as an alternative name for Sunday. Another theory is that since Domingo is also Sunday in Spanish and Portuguese, maybe that's where Hari Minggu came about in Malay.
@@gustavofigueiredo1798 Well I was expecting it to sound like Spanish/Italian... Interesting because I was born in Armenia and in Armenian the weekdays are also following a similar format. monday erkushapti - erku 2 Tuesday erekshapti - erek 3 Wednesday chorekshapti - chors 4 Thursday hingshapti - hing 5 Friday urbat Saturday shabat Sunday kiraki Friday - Sunday, I don't know where these come from or what they mean... except Shabat that is Sabbath
@@caramia4789 Ah yes, I can see why you thought that. As I see, both Portuguese and Armenian are farther away from latin than Italian and Spanish. Interesting to know that our languages have this in common. Thanks for sharing.
@@gustavofigueiredo1798 it’s almost the same in arabic sunday: ( al ahad | الاحد ) - first day monday: ( al athnayn | الاثنين ) - second w tuesday: ( al thulthaa | الثلاثاء ) - third day wednesday: ( al arbaa | الاربعاء ) - fourth day thursday: ( al khames | الخميس ) - fifth day friday: ( al jumaa | الجمعه ) - A day when people gather saturday: ( al sabat | السبت ) - day of sleep and rest
In Sanskrit, Ravi(sun) bar(day)- sunday, som (moon)bar - Monday, mangal ( mars) bar - Tuesday, Budha ( Mercury) bar - Wednesday, brihaspati (Jupiter) bar - Thursday, sukra(venus) bar - Friday, sani ( saturn) bar - Saturday It makes more sense than trying to find indirect connections.
There are no other planets out there. Nobody and nothing has ever gone outside earth. NASA is a big lie. Earth is flat and firm, covered by a fermarment, with angels guarding it. Existence of other planets out there is all a lie.
Interesting… how I wonder the days in Arabic are using counting numbers except Friday & Saturday. Ahad derives from “wahidun” is first of the week, followed by Ithnin from word ithnani or second of the week….. up until the sixth day we called it as Jumu’ah (the most special day for muslim), and the next day is Sabtu due to special day for Jewish
My 5-year-old LOVES the Solar System and can recite them furthest and nearest the sun and a few dwarf planets and various moons! 🥰 He’s been reciting and spelling them since he was 3!
God said:”If you look for me wholeheartedly, you will find me.” Jer 29:13 I understand him. He has spent his life looking for evidence of things. Not bad…the verse above is for him.
In Hindi we have Raviwar :- Ravi means Sun Somwar :- Som means moon Mangalwar :- Mangal is mars Budhwar :- Budh is Mercury Brahspatiwar or Guruwar :- Brahspati which is also called Guru is Jupiter Sukrawar :- Sukra is venus Shaniwar :- Shani means Saturn
@Dylan_Time I just looked it up. It is, indeed, spelled Freya (or, more accurately, Freyja). Additionally, it's neither spelled nor pronounced Tiw, but Tyr. His name comes from the old High German word Ziu, which loosely translates to god. I give Dr. Neil deGrasse Tyson all the credit in the world, but he does mispronounce names from time to time.
Fun fact, in ancient Greece all days or the week were named after the Gods (or the known planets if you will) Monday - Moon Day Tuesday - Ares Day (or Mars Day) (Yes, the God of War) Wednesday - Hermes Day (Yes, the Messenger God) Thursday - Zeus Day (Yes, the Lightning God) Friday - Aphrodite Day (or Venus Day) Saturday - Kronos Day (Saturn Day) Sunday - Helios Day (Sun Day) Cheers
Shout-out to Planet George! ♅ 🪐 Are we happy this planet got renamed?
I wanna be it's president 😂
They wouldn't let him call it George, so instead they called it... Uranus? In terms of how many jokes would be made about this planet's name, it probably came out about even.
in the past, the order is as follows:
Moon
Venus/Mecury
Mercury/Venus (not sure)
Sun
Mars
Jupiter
Saturn
In Zechariah Sitchin's work, even if Earth is said to be the seventh planet, if you use our counting, the seventh planet would correspond to Saturn, which looks yellow. No wonder Zechariah Sitchin's seventh planet (Earth) is full of gold...
No I'm not ! It had the best name ! 🤔Now it's named after the president .
@@georgedeedsnotwords2162 Ah! Didn't even think of that. Putin is also from olde latin...... 🤔
Though, I have got to admit I've never heard them call Uranus that other word.
In Sweden. Many days are named after our ancient gods..
Monday - Moon day. "Måndag".
Tuesday - Tyr. "Tisdag".
Wednesday - Oden. (Onsdag).
Thursday - Thor. (Torsdag).
Friday - Freja. (Fredag).
Saturday - Is the day we take a bath(??) (Lördag)
Sunday - Is named after the Sun.
Sol, Sunna/Sunne in Sweden. (Söndag).
We come from the Land of the Ice and Snow!
Indeed, I would in fact say that this episode of StarTalk is perhaps one of the weakest so far in terms of solid evidence based argumentation. It is clear that Mr. Tyson does not know norse mythology very well with where he draws the comparisons, but then... That's not his expertise. ;)
Old norse: laugardagr "pool day" so bathing day is correct for Saturday. The same in Finnish loan word "lauantai" .
It's the same in English, other than Saturday. The same gods. Of course Wednesday is Woden's day, as you Scandinavians have this habit of dropping W from the beginning of some words...like wool = ull and in Norsk wolf = ulv. I'm guessing Norse influenced Thursday, as it's no longer the full Thunor's day, like in Dutch and German.
I have a question: why are they named in a particular sequence "Sun Moon Mars Mercury Jupiter Venus Saturday"
Never thought I’d be entertained by people talking about the days of the week. Bravo gentlemen, bravo! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I don't know why, but every time i accidently click on Neil deGrasse Tyson, I end up learning something new.. So amazing!! I enjoyed this video....
In India also we have different names based on the planet. Of course we have many different languages but the naming rules sames. This follow list is in Gujarati language.
Sunday : Ravivar ( Ravi means sun , Var means day)
Monday : Somwar ( moon day)
Tuesday: Mangalvar ( Mars day)
Wednesday: Budhvar ( Mercury day)
Thursday : Guruvar ( Jupiter day)
Friday : Shukrvar ( Venus day)
Saturday: shanivar ( saturn day)
( edited: I want to clarify that India had also two additional planets in terms of astrology. Rahu and Ketu. These are shadow planets that were used to calculate eclipses. Interesting concept rather unheard of. )
Bhai ye admi creation key time sey gyaani hai mat ched 😂
When they say Greek note it as Greek Egypt Indus all are same time and they ignore Indus because inferiority complex
Indian names so accurately match with the planets that I doubt the ideas were copied abroad. But yeah, u could be right, Indus is one one of the ancient, must be the father of all other civilization.
It could be the common Indo-European root with Hindi or Urdu, if you also consider the Norse and Anglo-Saxon (=English) names for the word. What speaks against this are the Slavic languages though, which follow a different logic (e.g. Wednesday in Proto-Slavic serda means middle of the week). So some Indian languages probably picked this up from the Indo-Greek connection through Alexander the Great and later, and ancient Germanic languages from the Romans, who again picked it up from the Greeks.
Also, Brihaspatiwar for (Jupiter) Thursday.
"Neptune and thennn..." "We're done."
Pluto has left the chat.

Like Classic Coke, I still consider Pluto a classic planet.

Tuesday = Angaharuwada, Angaharu = Mars
Wednesday = Badada, Buda = Mercury
Thursday = Brahaspathinda, Brahaspathi = Jupiter
Friday = Sikurada, Sikuru = Venus
Saturday = Senasurada, Senasuru = Saturn
Wow! Is this coincidence or linkage. In the Akan culture of Ghana 'day' is also called 'da'. eg. Friday is known as Efiada, which means the day of Afia and we do same for all the seven
Woww! Thanks for sharing that's crazy
😮
Maybe it's the origin
It seems da, din, day all have same origin
I’m a native Spanish speaker and am studying Japanese and when it came to learning the days of the week in Japanese I noticed this pattern of naming them in accordance with the original seven planets.
As opposed to English and Spanish where the days of the week are named after the gods associated with each planet, the Japanese named them after their associated elements (with the exception of the Moon and the Sun). For example, 火 means “fire”, the element associated with 火星(kasei), the “Fire Star” Mars. Thus, Tuesday in Japanese is 火曜日(kayoubi) the “Fire Day”
Then repeat this for the other planets.
水 = Water, 水星(suisei) = Mercury, 水曜日(suiyoubi) = Wednesday
木 = Tree/Wood, 木星(mokusei) = Jupiter, 木曜日(mokuyoubi) = Thursday
金 = Gold, 金星(kinsei) = Venus, 金曜日(kinyoubi) = Friday
土 = Earth, 土星(dosei) = Saturn, 土曜日(doyoubi) = Saturday.
Monday and Sunday are simply named after 月(“the Moon”) and 日(“the Sun”) respectively, leaving 月曜日(getsuyoubi) as Monday and 日曜日(nichiyoubi) as Sunday.
Somewhat related side note: Because Uranus and Neptune were discovered far after the others, they didn’t have an associated element, so in this case they were named after the gods. Uranus was named after Ouranos, the God of the Sky, so in Japanese 天王星 (tennousei) means the “The Sky King’s Star” Uranus. Neptune was of course named after Neptune, the God of the Sea, so 海王星 (kaiousei) is the “Sea King’s Star” Neptune.
I asked some of my Japanese teachers how the Japanese names and Western names matched up so well but nobody knew the answer. Of course, they taught Japanese and not history but I assume that it came from the West via China at some point long ago.
Amazing can you teach me Japanese too?🙏🤟💯😎
You're close: "kin" does normally mean "gold," but in this specific case it would translate as "metal."
it's global, oldest known is in India. the names aren't arbitrary but instead calculated
@@masonheipel
The Babylonians created the seven-day week named for the moving lights of the sky more than 5,000 years ago. It is such a convenient coincidence that seven divides evenly into the 28 days of the lunar cycle that the system was adopted over and over again by Eurasian cultures as it spread along trade routes.

There is also a link between the seven planets with the seven known metals of the ancient times.
Sun - Gold
Moon - Silver
Mercury - Mercury
Venus - Copper
Mars - Iron
Jupiter - Tin
Saturn - Lead
Therefore, in Hindi, the metal gold is called 'sona' while the metal silver is called 'Chandi'. (Chand means moon)
Any link between them and the four hunours or Temperaments. Ayurvedic?
The four humors or temperaments are related to the four element system of the previous times. Each humor/temperament is related to one of the four elements: earth, water, air and fire.
You should not bathe in lead on saturday, it is poison to the brain.

Hey, I love Neil and Chuck, been with you guys for some time now.. But guys, you didn't explained "The reason we have 7 days in a week", ancient cultures often used 8 or 10 days in a week. 7 days in a week actually came from Babylonians. The Babylonians divided the 28-day lunar cycle into four weeks, each consisting of seven days. The number seven was significant as it represented the seven major celestial bodies that had been observed by the Babylonians. Later in history it even got a religious boost when the Bible described God creating the world in six days and rested on the seventh. For centuries the Romans used a period of eight days in civil practice, but in 321 CE Emperor Constantine established the seven-day week in the Roman calendar. I know nowadays the Ancient Mesopotamia history is not taught in school anymore, people tend to forget that. Just saying facts, no hate or anything! Stay sharp guys, good luck :)
Marking time in lunar cycles was why Moses was so old . Divide his age by 13 and you will get his real age in years.
I don't know man, we Indians have been using them for so long and we even call them exactly what we call planets in our language.
I agree. The video explained why our seven days of the week are named what they are named but not how we got to seven days in the first place. It was more of a convergence of coincidences, where the goofy math of the ancient humans worked well with the celestial observations of the slightly less-ancient people, and then the plethora of god names we all came up with later were implemented after the fact. I doubt Babylonians bothered with god names for their week days but we will never know. Those guys seemed to be all about business and trade and probably just called them day one, day two, etc.
Thank u for the explanation ❤❤❤❤
Maybe I'm tripping here, but I'm pretty sure the reason they gave for having 7 days in a week is because there was 7 observable celestial bodies. 7:10 to the end of the video is literally titled "Why We Have Seven Days" lol
It’s similar in Japanese:
Sunday=日nichi for sun
Monday=月 getsu for moon
Tuesday=火 ka for fire
Wednesday=水 mitsu for water
Thursday=木 moku for wood or tree
Friday=金 kin for gold
Saturday=土 do for earth or soil
Each kanji ends in 曜日, or “youbi,” which means “day.”
Adopted from Buddhists.
Also if you add star 星to the end of the kanji for Tuesday - Saturday you get the names of the planets
火星 - Mars
水星 - Mercury
木星 - Jupiter
金星 - Venus
土星 - Saturn

Hello Gentlemen, fun fact:
Thursday in dutch is called Donderdag... wich translates back to Thunderday. So we named it after the sound Thor makes, but not after his own name.
Yes and no; it's named after Donar, the Thunderer, which is the proto-Germanic for Thor (just like how Wotan is the Germanic name for Odin, in Norway, Denmark and Sweden it's not Wednesday, it's Onsdag, directly from Oden's Dag or Odin's Day). Donar among the Germanic tribes, Thuner in the Old Frisian tribes, Thunar in Old Saxon, and then Þórr in Norse, the latter of which then became Thor (and despite the weird letters phonetically sounds very similar also).
thur is named for thor wich means thunder just like donar the dutch or GERMANIC name for thor all of witch mean Thunder so it is named for his NAME!
@@Sacremas Both Wodan or Wotan after wich Wednesday, or in dutch Woensdag is named and Odin mean Furious or Angry.. Or the Furious one.

In Portuguese we have 2nd day, 3rd day, 4th day, 5th day, 6th day, Sábado (Sabbath) and Domingo ( Domini)
In Hebrew, the days are just numbered:
Sunday = Yom Rishon (Yom means day, Rishon means first. So - First Day)
Monday = Yom Sheni (Second Day)
Tuesday = Yom Shlishi (Third day)
Wednesday = Yom Revi'i (Fourth Day)
Thursday = Yom Hamishi (Fifth Day)
Friday = Yom Shishi (Sixth day)
Saturday = Shabbat (the origin for Sabbath. It comes from the word Sheva - seven, but also means to sit down doing nothing, resting, which is what Jewish people are supposed to do on Sabbath. The Torah specifically forbids working on Sabbath).
Some interesting additional information - The Hebrew calendar is based on the movement of the moon, unlike the Gregorian calendar which is based on the movement of the Earth around the sun.
1. This difference creates a gap in the calendar (The Jewish year is shorter) so every four years another month (4 weeks) is added to avoid losing sync with the seasons (very important for agriculture).
2. The Hebrew date changes when it gets dark and there are 2 visible stars in the sky, meaning, the days - as in dates - are not the same length.
Portuguese is similar:
2a Feira - Monday
3a Feria - Tuesday
4a Feira - Wednesday
5a Feira - Thursday
6a Feira - Friday
Sábado Saturday
Domingo Sunday
acutally s solar/lunmar calender not solely a lunar calendar. By the way if you have 13 months every month has 28 with one extra incalulary day or 2 in leap year and 1 or 2 incalulary days or 1 or 2 months with 29 days. If we went to 13 month calendar th last month could have the extra day(s) keep the calendar align though out the year.it would also allow each day to haves begining of the year 21 times out of 28 years allowing every weekday to have at least 84 first i day n 99 years and e in from 1901 to 2099 you have each year have 169 times at least each day startsthe new year.
A couple corrections, expansions
Shabbat doesn't come from the root for seven (shin-beth-ayin) but from the root for cease (Shin-beth-tav)
The extra month, in the Torah, is only added if you cannot find enough ripened (aviv) barley in Chodesh HaAviv (The first month) in time for the Sheaf offerings during Hagh HaMatzot (Passover).
The Hebrew day begins at sundown, specifically described as Beyn HaArbayin (between the evenings or muddlings) generally understood as the time between when the orb of the sun drops below the horizon and when the light of the sun has dissipated.
Islamic calendar is purely based on The Moon but has similar nomenclature:
yaum as-sabt يوم السَّبْت (sabbath day)
yaum al-ahad يوم الأحد (first day)
yaum al-ithnayn يوم الإثنين (second day)
yaum ath-thalatha' يوم الثُّلَاثاء (third day)
yaum al-arba`a' يوم الأَرْبعاء (fourth day)
yaum al-khamis يوم الخَمِيس (fifth day)
yaum al-jum`a يوم الجُمْعَة (gathering day)(Friday)
Portuguese names of the week are similar, except for Sunday (Domingo as in Dominus Day)

I had these talk at 10 with my science teacher who told me I was wrong. I figured it all out once I learned the names of certain Greek and Roman gods. she just matched the days of the week. That inspired me to go further. I wish I had a real science teacher.

Fascinating! Also, I’ve just found out that from Monday to Friday is different in Portuguese because, over the history, some religious people stated they couldn’t accept pagan names to be the days of the week. That’s why Sunday and Saturday are the same as in Spanish (Domingo and sábado) but the others are completely different
Segunda-feira
Terça-Feira
Quarta-feira
Quinta-feira
Sexta-feira
It’s just numbering the days of the week. What about feira?
😂😂😂
makes total sense.
Greeks learnt about Astronomy from the Indians, including the planets and name of the days.
European sources attribute the nomenclature of the weekdays to the Greeks or the Babylonians. However, there is scant evidence for these claims, and the claims are mostly based on conjectures, circular logic and uninformed opinions.
However Indian system is explained by the 5th century Aryabhata and the even older Surya Siddhanta which is calculated to be over 7,300 BCE.
From the (Aryabhatiya, KalaKriya Pada, Verse, 16):
सप्तैते होरेशा: शनैश्चराद्या यथाक्रमं शीघ्रा:|
शीघ्रक्रमाच्च्तुर्था भवन्ति सूर्योदयाद् दिनपा: ||
Meaning - The seven Grahas beginning with Saturn, which are arranged in the order of increasing velocity, are the lords of the successive hours. The Grahas occurring fourth in the order of increasing velocity are the lords of the successive days, which are reckoned from Sunrise (in Lanka).
"Grahas" did not mean "Planet", it meant an astral object that grasps another astral object (e.g. ‘Graha’ approach-ing a nakshatra (star) - a visual delusion, of course). It also means an astral body that exerts attractive force on the earth.)
The lords of the twenty-four hours (with hours being measured from sunrise at Lanka) are: Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, Sun, Venus, Mercury, Moon, Saturn, Jupiter, Mars, respectively, and the lords of the seven days are: Saturn, Sun, Moon, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus, respectively.
The lord of the day is the lord of the first hour of that day, the day being measured from sunrise.
Surya Siddhanta has similar explanation (Bhugoladhyaya -78)
मन्दादध: क्रमेण स्युश्चतुर्था दिवसाधिप:
होरेशा सूर्यतनयादधोध: क्रमशस्तथा
Starting from the Saturn downward, the fourth graha is called the lord of the day. The graha starting from the Saturn successively downwards are the lords of the hour.
The only rational explanation for the nomenclature of the weekdays comes from an Indian source. No other culture provides any reason for why a particular graha (planet) is associated with a particular day of the week. Only the Indian Jyotish (Hora-shastra) provides the rationale, and not some folklore reason, but rather an astronomical one.
Hindu concept of seven day week is much older and has other associated astronomical issues.
In Lithuanian - week days are coumpound words of number + day:
Monday - PIRMAdienis - first day
Tuesday - ANTAdienis - second day
Wednesday- TREČIAdienis - third day

As a native Spanish speaker, I found hilarious that Chuck remembered that long gone TV show of "Sabado Gigante" 😂. In that regard of Spanish day names, they left "Domingo" (Sunday) out, that's the exception to the planet-named days in Romance languages as this day means "Day of the Lord" (from the Latin "Dominus" = Lord).
In Russian is воскресенья meaning resurrection of the Lord
dude, I literally paused it and gave Chuck all kinds of love for that one. You know he's been around some brown folk for a minute. lol
Funny that he gave Chuck grief for using a Spanish word, "Sabado" saying they're doing it in English; then wants him to name the days of the week in Spanish that correspond to planets.
Good grief. I just checked and saw that it's been 9 years already since the show went off the air. It doesn't seem that long ago. I miss watching that show every Saturday night growing up
Just to add, i think he is married to a Latina woman
In Philippines (Tagalog) we called the days of the week same like in spanish.
Monday- lunes
Tuesday - martes
Wednesday - miyerkules
Thursday - huwebes
Friday- biyernes
Saturday - sabado
Sunday - linggo
what would "linggo" translate to?
Cuz in spanish Sunday is "Domingo" (which i can´t understand it's correlation to Sunday, given that "sun" in spanish is "Sol"

In India, language Sanskrit, several thousands year ago, named week days as..
ADIVAAR
SOM VAAR
MANGAL VAAR
BUDH VAAR
GURU VAAR
SUKRA VAAR
SANI VAAR
all are planets names.
Those who converted to Christianity say that hindus do not have calendars .. hindus have better calendar ...
In the language Hindi, we use similar words for the planets and the corresponding days. The word Mangal (for Mars), Budh (Mercury), Brihaspati (Jupiter), Shukra (Venus), Shani (Saturn). The same goes for the Sun, which is called Ravi. To write the name of the corresponding day, we just add the suffix 'var' to the planet name. Hence, the days are called Mangalvar (Tuesday), Budhvar (Wednesday), Brihaspativar (Thursday), Shukravar (Friday), Shanivar (Saturday). The same goes of Ravivar (Sunday).
Interestingly, we also use the same word 'Graha' for a planet and a house.
Where is Monday
@@octane2116Moon is called "Som" and Monday in Hindi is "Somvar"
@@octane2116 Somvar is used for Monday, while Moon is more commonly called Chand or Chandra. The word Som is a synonym of Chand.
Interestingly, Moon is called Chand while the metal Silver is called Chandi. Similarly, the metal Gold is called Sona (Similar to the word Sun).
Indians got this from Greeks. Not only this Jyothishya Shastra also borrowed from Greeks!
@@madhureddy7643 Wish..people had known then that the Sun and the moon are not planets whereas the Earth is a planet. We would have had six days in a week, with 4 working days and 2 days of weekend.
In Arabic the days from Sunday to Thursday are just named after the first 5 numbers respectively.
But Saturday is named: السبت (which pronounced something like Sabbath)
And Friday is : الجُمْعَة which means something like meeting day, and that make sense considering Islam since this is a special day were they go to pray together and stuff.
But as far as I know these names exists before Islam.
Note: I didn't search about those 2 days, I am taking just from my pov as a native speaker of Arabic and I grew up in a Muslim country so it a cultural context.
I always thought Saturday corresponded to seven (sab'atun) hence sabtu
@@faieziabubakar207 In arabic and hebrew, it does. That's where Sabt in arabic and Shabbat in Hebrew come from. The seventh and last day of the week.
In greek:
Kiriaki : lord day
Deftera: second day
Triti: third day
Tetarti: fourth day
Pempti: fifth day
Paraskevi: prepare for sabbath
Savato: sabbath
It's so much more mundane in Slavic languages. I guess we were brought in when the Classics were a little suspect, and local gods were not even legal. We have No-work, Post-no-work, Second, Middle, Fourth, Fifth, and Sabbath. The Portuguese OTOH go by which-feast: Godly, Second-feast, Third-feast, Fourth-feast, Fifth-feast, Sixth-feast, Sabbath. Note that numbers are off by one. It was such a shock for me too, when I found out that in my adopted country Sunday is the FIRST day of the week.
I kind of like the adding of -feast to almost every day.
-Why are we celebrating? asked Piglet.
-Because it Tuesday, Pooh answered.

The best naming is in Portuguese:
Sunday - Domingo
Moonday - segunda feira
Tuesday - terça feira
Wednesday - quarta feira
Thursday - quinta feira
Friday sexta feira
Saturday - sábado
So, "feira" comes from ancient Portuguese (or late Latin) meaning rest day ( this word also became férias - vacation in Portuguese).
The other words are orinal nunbers (second, third, forth, etc) up to Saturday (that comes from Sabbath, the rest day).
With this in mind, if we are talking about Monday, the name infere that this day is the 2nd day after the day that we must rest (segunda feira).
Nice. It seems to mean that for Christians, Saturday is the church going day, not Sunday
@@manasavuibaubatiwale3593 for Christians, the church day is Domingo (Dominus Day, that means day of the lord).
I guess that the counting was referring to the day God rested after building the world, but I am not sure about that
@@alcarnielothat's because the Roman Catholic church said so. But the Bible's rest day, the sabbath, is the true worship day because it's mentioned as the sabbath of the Lord, the true day of the Lord. Jesus said that "he is Lord of the sabbath". This means the sabbath, sábado, is the Lord's day.
Very close to Greek with the exception of Friday, all others are the same in meaning.
Friday in Greek, (paraskevi) means the preparation for the upcoming sabbath.
In Malaysia especially for the State of Malacca, the Portuguese colonized it from 1511 to 1641CE. Since Sunday is a holy or special day for the Christian Portuguese and the head of the Church was called Father Domingo or Saint Domingo I can't remember, Sunday became the day when people come to see this Domingo person. So, the natives had an alternative day to call Sunday as Hari Domingo which means the day when people meet Domingo. After couple centuries, Hari Domingo became Hari Minggu currently. The actual name for Sunday in Malay is Hari Ahad. But Hari Minggu stuck till this day as an alternative name for Sunday. Another theory is that since Domingo is also Sunday in Spanish and Portuguese, maybe that's where Hari Minggu came about in Malay.
In Sinhala language, we get the same sinhala name of the planet and add the day (දා) to end.

Indian weekdays naming method is more scientific
considered planets: sun, moon, mercury, Venus, mars, Jupiter, Saturn
arrange them in slowest to fastest moving (days taken for one complete rotation around earth perspective)
Ascending order - Saturn, Jupiter, mars, sun, Venus, mercury, moon
in Tamil - sani, viyalan, sevai, niyayiru, veli, bhudhan, thingal
consider the above in sequence for 24 hours - means Saturn 1st hour of a day, Jupiter 2nd hr. of the day and so on after 7 hours again repeat itself as Saturn 8th hr. of the day and so on
so the 25th coming planet will start the next day which is sun 1 hr. of the next day.
if we take all first coming planets of a day in sequence then: Saturn (sani), sun (niyayiru), moon (thingal), mars (sevai), mercury (bhudhan), Jupiter (viyalan), Venus(veli)
if we arrange them as current sunday format then sun (niyayiru), moon (thingal), mars (sevai), mercury (bhudhan), Jupiter (viyalan), Venus(veli),Saturn (sani)

Not that anybody asked, but in Arabic, the days of the week are mostly just derived from numbers:
-- Sunday = Al-Ahad = 1
-- Monday = Al-Ithnayn = 2
-- Tuesday= Al-Thulathaa = 3
-- Wednesday= Al-Arbiaa = 4
-- Thursday = Al-Khamis = 5
This leaves the exceptions:
-- Friday= Al-Jumaa: kinda means the day of gathering / getting together
-- Saturday = Al-Sabt: same origin as Sabbath
Yeah, boring I guess, but hey, there is no god but God 😌
In Igbo Language from Nigeria we have just four days in a week named after market days
They are
1. Eke
2. Orie
3. Afor
4. Nkwo
It just worries me how we present this nonsense to the general public, I’m an igbo man, igbo language is not complete, what you listed is called the four market days, which can fall into any day.
Are there four days in a week or should the world adjust to four days because we are igbos?
Since the igbo doesn’t have the translation yet, they spell those days according to the English sounds!
@@DIPLOMATCENTER
My brother if Igbo is not complete, what effort are you making to make it complete? Who do you think that will complete those incomplete lexicon you're referring to ? It is always easy to sit and criticize without offering any tangible solution.
No one is forcing the world to adopt Igbos' days of the week or coerce Igbos to accept others days of the week. The fact remains that Igbos legitimately and proudly have their days of the week which is handed over to them by our ancestors as enumerated above. If you refuse to accept it, then , you deal with it because we will continue to use it till the end of the world.
@@AugustineAriola You can imagine how weak and preposterous your argument came off, I pointed out facts that you and I know very well if you attended any igbo class.
I only said we can’t continue to bring that to a global front, if you questioned who will complete the lexicons, why now stay rigid that we will live with the incomplete language till the end of age?
People are working hard in that regards and doing a whole lot of translation jobs.
Anyway, drag along, I actually don’t need the language to communicate on a global scale which is what I do.
@@DIPLOMATCENTER Are you for real? I am not Igbo by any chance but what you just wrote is utterly gibberish. Your fellow igbo was just telling us about how they have 4 days based on market days. I read through the comment and other people are proudly presenting their culture. Here you are criticising your fellow igbo 😅😅😅😅 over 7 days a week, which by the video just goes to show even those were incorrectly named. Named after 7 planets, well there are more than 7 planets. The sun and the moon are not planets. How can this sound more correct to you than 4 market days? OMG did you really attack your fellow igbo over how many days should be in a week? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 people can have 2,5, 10, 17 doesn't really matter as long as it has meaning to them...
@@DIPLOMATCENTER what a pompous essay that hides a deep-seated shame about your own heritage. What a pity that your were not taught to appreciate the beauty of that which is uniquely yours. No pride in your own history and culture. Op wasn't sharing science, but culture. OP, My other brother, please tell the world about your people and ignore this one who is ashamed of where he comes from. Tell the world about your customs and in return appreciate that of others.

Dr Tyson you must also read of Indian Panchang and we too have the days of the week named like the Nordic cultures.

In Portugal there was a bishop who considered the names of the weekdays sacreligious so they just numbered them
Something similar happened on Iceland
I guess it was the same in Greece. You have the Day of the Lord (Domingo - Κυριακη), the second - fifth days (segunda, terça, quarta, quinta - Δευτέρα, Τρίτη, Τετάρτη, Πέμπτη), then in Greek you have the Day of Preparation for the Sabbath, Παρασκευή, because Jesus died on a Friday, then the Sabbath (sábado, Σάββατο).
Originally in Greek the days beginning on Monday were called Ἡμέρα Σελήνης, the Day of Selene, the Moon goddess; Ἡμέρα Ἄρεως the Day of Ares/Mars; Ἡμέρα Ἑρμοῦ, the Day of Hermes/Mercury; Ἡμέρα Διός, the Day of Zeus/Jupiter; Ἡμέρα Ἀφροδίτης, the Day of Aphrodite/Venus; Ἡμέρα Κρόνου, the Day of Chronos/Saturn; Ἡμέρα Ἡλίου, the Day of Helios, the Sun god.

Tuesday being named after the Norse God of war makes sense since in Danish Tuesday is Tyrsdag or Týr Day
And Tyr = bull and its a badass name. Get out of here with that weak name mumbo jumbo.

@@greatdane131That's just a coincidence though
Tuesday in English is named after the English god Tiw, not the Norse god (though they had the same origin)
@@se6369 if it's the same origin, then it's basically the same from our perspective today.
Otherwise, we could also argue that "Martes in Spanish is named after the Roman god Mars, not the Greek god Ares"...
Myths evolve throughout times and societies.
Interestingly enough in Hindi Mythology, Mars is called 'Mangal', and Tuesday is called 'Mangalwar' or Mars-Day, I wonder how it also coincides with the Greeks 🤔🤔
Greek influenced the east after alexanders conquests. There are even budah statues found in the likeness of greek style.
India named the days based on the greeks.
Mars is Roman. The Greeks called this one Ares.
@@GowthamNatarajanAI You do realise that Hinduism is the oldest religion and mythology.
I would assume less with the Greeks, but more with older civilisations in Mesopotamia. They were the ones who likely "invented" the seven days week. And if you look at the map - Mesopotamia is right in the middle between India and the Mediterrenean. Ancient cultures influenced each other quite a lot.

In Portuguese we made it simpler. It’s literally Second, Third, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Shabat and Lord’s day. In Portuguese: Segunda, Terça, Quarta, Quinta, Sexta, Sábado and Domingo. Long ago the week started Sunday.
Same with the original semitic languages! (First=sunday, second, third, fourth, fifth, the gathering, the sabbath (arabic as an example here)
In Persian also is like that
But months name are older pagans persian gods which some of them have similarities to greeks and norse gods
That's just sad. I assume you also dropped the late Roman month names and only count the months as well by using numbers?
