It's a pity, because I tcetcetce nelci "niedziela" for a do-nothing day. > partyday in Saturday is specific to western culture. Every day is party day! ;) > mijdei should be thursday not wednesday. And yet "środa" (mid-day) is wednesday. Even though "czwartek" (fourth-day) and "piątek" (fifth-day) are thursday and friday, respectively. Inconsistencies in natural languages are lovely ;) > Why friday is payday? It seems to me this is not even specific to Western culture, but only to Anglo-Saxon one, where there are wages paid weekly. Considering all this, I wonder: we have local major money units (rupnu), local length units (gutci), local area units (kramu), but time is measured in minutes, hours, days (OK, this is no surprise), 7-day weeks and 1/12-of-the-year months.
