What is the difference between “月曜日(getsuyōbi) and 月曜(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 (getsuyōbi) and 月曜 (getsuyō)
Monday / 星期一, 周一 / 월요일, 월요일 / Thứ Hai, Thứ Hai(Không lịch sự bằng
“月曜日(getsuyōbi) and 月曜(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 “私は月曜日/月曜に___。(I ___ on Monday.)”, etc. For instance, “私は月曜日/月曜に買い物に行く。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)”, “私は月曜日/月曜に本を読む。(I’ll read a book on Monday.)”, “私は月曜日/月曜に日本語を勉強する。(I’ll study Japanese on Monday.)”, etc. The tips for using them are that “月曜日” is used as an OFFICIAL and “月曜” is used in daily conversations as CASUAL and POLITE. We often omit “日” of “月曜日“, that would be “月曜“, but, we don’t omit “曜日” of “月曜日“, that would be “月” which is wrong in daily conversation. However, as a writing word, someone people write “月・水・金” such as lesson schedule, like “Mon/Wed/Fri.” Everyone could use “月曜日/月曜” as casual and polite such as “月曜日/月曜に買い物に行くよ。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)” as casual and “月曜日/月曜に買い物に行きます。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)” as polite. And as formal, you would be able to use “月曜日” such as “月曜日に買い物に行きます。(I’ll go shopping on Monday.)”. Lastly, it is not only used “月曜日“, but it also used “火曜“, “水曜“, “木曜“, “金曜“, “土曜“, “日曜“.
