Learning a new language starts with the basics — and knowing the days of the week is something you'll use every single day. Whether you're planning a trip to Ukraine, chatting with Ukrainian friends, or just building your vocabulary, this is one of the first things worth learning.
Ukrainian days of the week follow a clear logic. Most of them have Slavic roots that reflect counting or the order of the week — so once you spot the pattern, they start to stick fast.
In this lesson you'll find all 7 days with their Ukrainian spelling, transliteration, and a simple pronunciation guide. No grammar jargon, just what you need to get going.
