To state the day of the week that follows today.
خلفية ثقافية
Tuesday is often the day for 'Wochenmärkte' (weekly markets) in many German towns, where locals buy fresh produce. In some rural areas, Tuesday was traditionally a day for weddings, though Saturday is now more common. Swiss punctuality means that if you say 'Morgen ist Dienstag' regarding a deadline, it is expected to be met exactly on that day. Tuesday is statistically the most productive day in German offices, often filled with 'Jour Fixe' meetings.
Present for Future
Always use 'ist' for days of the week. It sounds much more natural than 'wird sein'.
Capitalization
Always capitalize 'Dienstag'. It is a noun!
