Let’s learn about days of the week in Lao.⠀
⠀
The word ວັນ /wan/ in Lao means “day”⠀
⠀
ອາທິດ/ທິດ /aatid/tid/ by itself means “week”⠀
Also, like any languages, there are different ways to say a certain word.⠀
⠀
For example, Tuesday can be ວັນອັງຄານ or ວັນຄານ /wan ang kaan/ or /wan kaan/⠀
⠀
Weekend can also be ເສົາອາທິດ /sao aatid/ or even ທ້າຍສັບປະດາ /thaai sap bpa daa/⠀
ວັນອາທິດ /wan aatid/ = Sunday
ວັນຈັນ /wan jan/ = Monday
ວັນອັງຄານ /wan ang kaan/ = Tuesday
Note: it may also be pronounced as ວັນຄານ /wan kaan/ as well. Notice that the ອັງ /ang/ is omitted.
ວັນພຸດ /wan put/ = Wednesday
ວັນພະຫັດ/wan pahat/ = Thursday
ວັນສຸກ /wan suk/ = Friday⠀
ວັນເສົາ /wan sao/ = Saturday
ທ້າຍອາທິດ /thaai aatid/ = Weekend
ວັນທຳມະດາ /wan thammadaa/ = Weekday⠀
