getsuyōbi vs. getsuyō：How Native Speaker Use These?

What is the difference between “月曜日げつようび(getsuyōbi) and 月曜げつよう(getsuyō)”? Which is often used as “Monday”? After reading this, you would be answering this question. Let me introduce what their subtle differences are and how you correctly use them such as native speakers today!

月曜日げつようび (getsuyōbi) and 月曜げつよう (getsuyō)

Monday / 星期一, 周一 / 월요일, 월요일 / Thứ Hai, Thứ Hai(Không lịch sự bằng

“月曜日げつようび(getsuyōbi) and 月曜げつよう(getsuyō)” mean “Monday” and which has been used as the meaning of “the day of the week before Tuesday and following Sunday”. The basic way to use it is “私わたしは月曜日げつようび/月曜げつように___。(I ___ on Monday.)”, etc. For instance, “私わたしは月曜日げつようび/月曜げつように買かい物ものに行いく。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)”, “私わたしは月曜日げつようび/月曜げつように本ほんを読よむ。(I’ll read a book on Monday.)”, “私わたしは月曜日げつようび/月曜げつように日本語にほんごを勉強べんきょうする。(I’ll study Japanese on Monday.)”, etc. The tips for using them are that “月曜日げつようび” is used as an OFFICIAL and “月曜げつよう” is used in daily conversations as CASUAL and POLITE. We often omit “日び” of “月曜日げつようび“, that would be “月曜げつよう“, but, we don’t omit “曜日ようび” of “月曜日げつようび“, that would be “月げつ” which is wrong in daily conversation. However, as a writing word, someone people write “月げつ・水すい・金きん” such as lesson schedule, like “Mon/Wed/Fri.” Everyone could use “月曜日げつようび/月曜げつよう” as casual and polite such as “月曜日げつようび/月曜げつように買かい物ものに行いくよ。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)” as casual and “月曜日げつようび/月曜げつように買かい物ものに行いきます。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)” as polite. And as formal, you would be able to use “月曜日げつようび” such as “月曜日げつようびに買かい物ものに行いきます。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)”. Lastly, it is not only used “月曜日げつようび“, but it also used “火曜きょう“, “水曜すいよう“, “木曜もくよう“, “金曜きんよう“, “土曜どよう“, “日曜にちよう“.
