**Friday** is the day of the week between **Thursday** and **Saturday**. In countries that adopt the traditional "Sunday-first" convention, it is the **sixth day** of the week. In countries adopting the ISO-defined "Monday-first" convention, it is the **fifth day** of the week¹[1]. Let's explore some interesting facts about Friday:
1. **Etymology**:
- The name **Friday** comes from the **Old English** word **frīġedæġ**, which means the "day of Frig." This association stems from an old convention that linked the **Nordic goddess Frigg** with the **Roman goddess Venus**. In many cultures, Friday is associated with Venus¹[1].
- In **Old Norse**, the expected cognate name would be **friggjar-dagr**, but the actual name for Friday is **frjá-dagr**, indicating a loan from Low German. The modern Scandinavian form is **fredag** in Swedish, Norwegian, and Danish, meaning **Freyja's day**¹[1].
2. **Friday in Other Languages**:
- In most **Romance languages**, the word for Friday is derived from **Latin** "dies Veneris," meaning "day of Venus." Examples include **vendredi** in French, **venres** in Galician, **divendres** in Catalan, **venerdì** in Italian, and **viernes** in Spanish. The Filipino term is **biyernes**, and in Chamorro, it's **betnes**.
- **Portuguese** is an exception; it uses **sexta-feira**, which means "sixth day of liturgical celebration," derived from Latin feria sexta (used in religious texts where consecrating days to pagan gods was not allowed).
- In **Arabic**, Friday is **الجمعة al-jumʿah**, meaning "congregation/gathering." Other languages in Islamic countries also derive their word for Friday from this root¹[1].
3. **Weekend Observance**:
- Friday is a **weekend** in countries of the **Middle East**.
- In most **Western countries**, Friday is the **fifth and final day** of the working week.
- In some other countries, Friday is the **first day** of the weekend, with Saturday as the second day.
- In **Iran**, Friday is the **last day** of the weekend, with Saturday as the first day of the working week¹[1].
Whether you're looking forward to the weekend or enjoying a relaxing Friday, I hope you have a great day! 😊🌟
