A question asking for the current day of the week.
خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'Bul-geum' (Fire Friday) is huge. People often ask '무슨 요일이에요?' on Thursday with excitement, looking forward to Friday night. Monday is often called 'Hell-yo-il' (Hell Monday) due to the intense work culture. Asking the day on a Monday often comes with a sigh. The five elements (Fire, Water, Wood, Metal, Earth) in the day names are still used in naming children and choosing 'auspicious' days for weddings. Young Koreans use 'Ju-mal-i-da!' (It's the weekend!) as a celebratory cry. The question '무슨 요일이에요?' is often a countdown to this moment.
The Batchim Rule
Remember that '요일' ends in a consonant, so you MUST use '이에요', not '예요'.
Don't say '몇 요일'
Even though '몇' means 'how many/which', it is never used with '요일'.
