المعنى
Used to ask about the current day of the week.
خلفية ثقافية
In Spain, the week starts on Monday. If you ask this on a Sunday, people might already be thinking about the 'vuelta al trabajo' (return to work). Mexicans often use 'ombligo de semana' (week's belly button) to refer to Wednesday. If you ask '¿Qué día es hoy?' on a Wednesday, they might reply with this phrase. In Argentina, 'el finde' (the weekend) is sacred. Asking '¿Qué día es hoy?' on a Friday often leads to plans for an 'asado' (barbecue). Colombia has many 'puentes' (holiday Mondays). Asking '¿Qué día es hoy?' during a long weekend is common as people lose track of time during festivities.
The 'H' is Silent
Never pronounce the 'h' in 'hoy'. It should sound exactly like 'oy'.
Día is Masculine
Even though it ends in 'a', it's 'el día'. This is a very common beginner mistake.
