Friday

noun veh-ner-DEE Less Common

Origin: From Latin Veneris dies 'day of Venus'.

Usage Note

Venerdì bears a written accent on the final syllable — without it the word would be stressed on the penultimate. Like all Italian days of the week, it is masculine and does not capitalise. The plural is invariable: i venerdì. The article is used for habitual events: di venerdì or il venerdì ('on Fridays').

Examples

"Ci vediamo venerdì prossimo."

Natural Translation
