星期天
When you're first learning Chinese, days of the week are really useful. 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) means Sunday. You'll hear it often. It's built on 星期 (xīng qī) which means week, and 天 (tiān) which means day. So, literally, 'week day'.
You can also say 星期日 (xīng qī rì) for Sunday, using 日 (rì) for sun/day. Both are common, so don't worry too much about which one to use. Just pick one and practice it.
When talking about days of the week in Chinese, you'll often encounter the word 星期 (xīngqī), which means 'week'. To specify a particular day, you add a number after 星期.
For example, Monday is 星期一 (xīngqīyī), Tuesday is 星期二 (xīngqī'èr), and so on, up to Saturday, which is 星期六 (xīngqīliù).
However, for Sunday, it's a little different. Instead of 星期七, we use 星期天 (xīngqītiān), where 天 (tiān) means 'day' or 'sky'.
You might also hear 星期日 (xīngqīrì), using 日 (rì), which also means 'day' or 'sun'. Both 星期天 and 星期日 are correct ways to say Sunday, with 星期天 being more commonly used in everyday conversation.
When talking about days of the week in Chinese, you'll often encounter 星期 (xīngqī). This word means 'week' or 'day of the week'. So, to say Sunday, we combine 星期 with 天 (tiān), which means 'day' or 'sky'.
Therefore, 星期天 (xīngqītiān) literally translates to 'week day' or 'week sky' in a general sense, but it specifically refers to Sunday. You might also hear 星期日 (xīngqīrì), using 日 (rì) which also means 'day' or 'sun'. Both are correct and commonly used.
To ask 'What day is it today?', you can say: 今天是星期几？ (Jīntiān shì xīngqī jǐ?) – Today is week how many? The '几' (jǐ) here means 'how many' and is used to ask for a number less than ten, which fits perfectly for the days of the week.
To respond, you would say: 今天是星期天。 (Jīntiān shì xīngqītiān.) – Today is Sunday.
When talking about days of the week in Chinese, you'll often encounter patterns. 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) is one common way to say Sunday. It literally combines 'week' (星期) with 'day' (天), referring to the 'day of the week'.
You might also hear 星期日 (xīng qī rì), which uses 'sun' (日) instead of 'day' (天), but means the same thing. Both are widely understood and used. In daily conversation, 星期天 is generally more common and casual. Another alternative, especially in southern China or more formal contexts, is 周日 (zhōu rì).

For example, 星期一 (xīngqīyī) is Monday, and 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) is Tuesday. The pattern continues up to 星期六 (xīngqīliù) for Saturday.
However, Sunday is a bit different. Instead of 星期七, it's commonly referred to as 星期天 (xīngqītiān) or sometimes 星期日 (xīngqīrì). Both 天 (tiān) and 日 (rì) mean 'day' or 'sun', but 星期天 is the more casual and frequently used option in everyday conversation. So, if you want to say 'Sunday', 星期天 is your go-to word. This difference is similar to how in English, we say 'Monday', 'Tuesday', but then 'Sunday' for the last day, which doesn't follow the numerical pattern.

§ What does it mean and when do people use it?
Let's talk about 星期天 (xīng qī tiān), which simply means 'Sunday' in Chinese. This is one of the first words you'll learn when you start talking about days of the week, and it's super common. You'll hear it and use it all the time.
- DEFINITION
- Sunday
In Chinese, the days of the week follow a clear pattern. You say 星期 (xīng qī), which means 'week', and then add a number from one to six for Monday through Saturday. But for Sunday, it's a bit different. Instead of a number, you use 天 (tiān), which means 'day', or sometimes 日 (rì), which also means 'day' or 'sun'. So, 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) literally translates to 'week day' or 'week day (of the sun)' if you think about it with 日. It's the most common and natural way to say Sunday in everyday conversation.
You'll use 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) just like you use 'Sunday' in English. Planning to meet someone? Talk about what you did last week? Mentioning what you'll do on your day off? This word is essential. It's a fundamental part of talking about your schedule, appointments, and free time.
我星期天有空。
Translation hint: 我 (wǒ) - I; 有空 (yǒu kòng) - have free time.
This sentence means 'I am free on Sunday.' Simple, right?
你星期天想做什么？
Translation hint: 你 (nǐ) - you; 想 (xiǎng) - want to; 做 (zuò) - do; 什么 (shén me) - what.
This means 'What do you want to do on Sunday?' Perfect for making plans.
Here are some common situations where you'd use 星期天 (xīng qī tiān):
- Talking about weekend plans: 'This Sunday, I'm going to the park.'
- Discussing past events: 'Last Sunday, we had a family dinner.'
- Making appointments: 'Can we meet next Sunday?'
- Mentioning regular activities: 'Every Sunday, I sleep in.'
It's straightforward. You put 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) where 'Sunday' would naturally go in an English sentence. Chinese grammar often places time words at the beginning of a sentence or right after the subject. For example:
星期天我去超市。
Translation hint: 我 (wǒ) - I; 去 (qù) - go; 超市 (chāo shì) - supermarket.
This means 'On Sunday, I go to the supermarket.' Or:
我星期天去超市。
Same meaning, slightly different placement, both are fine and common. Just practice saying it in different contexts, and it will become natural.
§ What Does 星期天 Mean?
- DEFINITION
- 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) is the Chinese word for 'Sunday'. It's a common and straightforward term you'll hear all the time. Think of it as 'week day' where 'day' specifically refers to the seventh day, Sunday.
You'll find 星期天 used in everyday conversations, just like you'd use 'Sunday' in English. It's an A1 level word, meaning it's one of the first words you'll learn and use frequently.
§ In Daily Conversation
Whether you're talking about plans with friends, discussing your weekend, or just mentioning what day it is, 星期天 will come up often. It's a key word for scheduling and talking about leisure time.
我星期天不工作。
Translation hint: 我 (wǒ - I) 星期天 (xīng qī tiān - Sunday) 不 (bù - not) 工作 (gōng zuò - work). This means: I don't work on Sunday.
星期天我们去看电影吧！
Translation hint: 星期天 (xīng qī tiān - Sunday) 我们 (wǒ men - we) 去 (qù - go) 看 (kàn - see) 电影 (diàn yǐng - movie) 吧 (ba - particle for suggestion). This means: Let's go watch a movie on Sunday!
§ At Work or School
Even in more formal settings like work or school, 星期天 is the standard term. You'll see it on schedules, calendars, and in announcements.
- CONTEXT
- In a work email:
会议定于本星期天上午十点。
Translation hint: 会议 (huì yì - meeting) 定于 (dìng yú - scheduled for) 本 (běn - this) 星期天 (xīng qī tiān - Sunday) 上午 (shàng wǔ - morning) 十点 (shí diǎn - ten o'clock). This means: The meeting is scheduled for this Sunday at 10 AM.
- CONTEXT
- In a school announcement:
星期天学校图书馆开放。
Translation hint: 星期天 (xīng qī tiān - Sunday) 学校 (xué xiào - school) 图书馆 (tú shū guǎn - library) 开放 (kāi fàng - open). This means: The school library is open on Sunday.
§ In the News or Media
When you're reading Chinese news articles or watching TV, you'll see 星期天 used to refer to events, deadlines, or schedules that fall on Sunday. It's a standard term, so there's no need for fancy alternatives.
- CONTEXT
- From a news report:
选举将于本星期天举行。
Translation hint: 选举 (xuǎn jǔ - election) 将于 (jiāng yú - will be held on) 本 (běn - this) 星期天 (xīng qī tiān - Sunday) 举行 (jǔ xíng - held). This means: The election will be held this Sunday.
- CONTEXT
- In a weather forecast:
星期天有雨。
Translation hint: 星期天 (xīng qī tiān - Sunday) 有 (yǒu - there is/are) 雨 (yǔ - rain). This means: There will be rain on Sunday.
As you can see, 星期天 is a versatile and essential word. Once you get comfortable using it, you'll be able to discuss plans, schedules, and events with ease. Keep practicing, and you'll master it in no time!
§ Similar words and when to use this one vs alternatives
When you're talking about 'Sunday' in Chinese, you'll mainly encounter three terms: 星期天 (xīng qī tiān), 星期日 (xīng qī rì), and 周日 (zhōu rì). While they all mean the same thing, there are subtle differences in their usage that are good to know.
- DEFINITION
- 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) is the most common and informal way to say 'Sunday'. It's what you'll hear most often in everyday conversations.
我星期天休息。
- HINT
- I rest on Sunday.
星期天我们去看电影。
- HINT
- We are going to watch a movie on Sunday.
This is your go-to word for casual conversations. If you're not sure which one to use, 星期天 is usually a safe bet.
- DEFINITION
- 星期日 (xīng qī rì) also means 'Sunday', but it's a bit more formal than 星期天. You'll often see it in written contexts, official documents, or more formal speech.
开放时间：周一至星期日。
- HINT
- Opening hours: Monday to Sunday.
Think of it like the difference between 'Sunday' and 'the Lord's Day' in English, although the formality gap isn't as wide. If you're writing an email to a professor or filling out a form, 星期日 might be a better choice.
- DEFINITION
- 周日 (zhōu rì) is another way to say 'Sunday', and it's also quite common, especially in spoken Chinese. It's concise and often used when referring to 'the weekend' (周末 - zhōumò) or when distinguishing Sunday from weekdays.
这个周日你有空吗？
- HINT
- Are you free this Sunday?
While 周日 specifically means Sunday, it often carries a slightly broader implication of 'the weekend' when used in questions about availability, as in the example above. It's a bit more flexible than just saying 'Sunday' explicitly.
Don't overthink it too much as a beginner. Start with 星期天, as it's the most widely accepted and understood in all situations. As you get more comfortable, you'll naturally pick up on the nuances of when to use the others. The key is to communicate clearly, and all three will get your message across.
How Formal Is It?
"我们星期日会在教堂见面。 (Wǒmen xīngqīrì huì zài jiàotáng jiànmiàn.) We will meet at church on Sunday."
"我星期天要去看电影。(Wǒ xīngqītiān yào qù kàn diànyǐng.) I am going to watch a movie on Sunday."
"周日我们去海边吧。(Zhōurì wǒmen qù hǎibiān ba.) Let's go to the beach on Sunday."

Chinese uses specific words for days of the week. 星期 (xīngqī) means week, and adding numbers 1-6 after it refers to Monday through Saturday. Sunday is special.
星期一 (xīngqīyī) - Monday
To ask 'What day of the week is it?', you can use 星期几 (xīngqījǐ)? where 几 (jǐ) means 'which number'.
今天星期几？ (Jīntiān xīngqījǐ?) - What day is it today?
星期天 can also be expressed as 星期日 (xīngqīrì), with 日 (rì) meaning sun or day. Both are common.
星期日 (xīngqīrì) - Sunday
When talking about 'last Sunday' or 'next Sunday', you place the time word before 星期天.
上个星期天 (shànggè xīngqītiān) - last Sunday
To say 'on Sunday', you can simply put 星期天 at the beginning of the sentence or after the subject.

星期天 (xīng qī tiān) is the most common and informal way to say "Sunday" in spoken Chinese. You'll hear this one all the time.
It literally means "week day," but specifically refers to Sunday. If you want to be more formal, you can use 星期日 (xīng qī rì), which also means Sunday, but it's less common in everyday conversation.
You can use it to talk about past, present, or future Sundays. For example:
- 我星期天去看电影。(Wǒ xīng qī tiān qù kàn diàn yǐng.) - I'm going to watch a movie on Sunday.
- 上个星期天我去了公园。(Shàng gè xīng qī tiān wǒ qù le gōng yuán.) - Last Sunday I went to the park.
- 这个星期天你有空吗？(Zhè gè xīng qī tiān nǐ yǒu kòng ma?) - Are you free this Sunday?
A common mistake for beginners is to confuse 星期天 with 周末 (zhōu mò).
- 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) = Sunday.
- 周末 (zhōu mò) = Weekend (Saturday and Sunday).
So, if you want to say "I'm free on the weekend," you would say:
我周末有空。(Wǒ zhōu mò yǒu kòng.)
Not:
我星期天有空。(Wǒ xīng qī tiān yǒu kòng.) - (This means "I'm free on Sunday," which is more specific.)
Another thing to remember is that in Chinese, the days of the week are usually expressed by adding a number after 星期 (xīng qī) for Monday through Saturday. Sunday is an exception, using 天 (tiān) or 日 (rì).
- 星期一 (xīng qī yī) - Monday
- 星期二 (xīng qī èr) - Tuesday
- ...and so on...
- 星期六 (xīng qī liù) - Saturday
- 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) or 星期日 (xīng qī rì) - Sunday
Tipps
Basic Meaning
星期天 (xīng qī tiān) literally means 'week day' and refers to Sunday. It's one of the most common ways to say Sunday.
Alternative: 星期日
You might also hear 星期日 (xīng qī rì). Both 星期天 and 星期日 mean Sunday and are interchangeable in most contexts.
Counting Days
The pattern for days of the week is 星期 + number. So, Monday is 星期一, Tuesday is 星期二, and so on. Since Sunday is the 'special' day, it gets 天 or 日.
Sentence Structure
To say 'on Sunday,' you can simply place 星期天 at the beginning of the sentence or after the subject. For example, 星期天我去看电影。 (Xīngqītiān wǒ qù kàn diànyǐng.) - Sunday I go watch movie.
Asking 'What day?'
To ask 'What day is it?', you can say 今天星期几？ (Jīntiān xīngqī jǐ?) - Today week what number? or 今天星期几？ (Jīntiān xīngqī jǐ?) - Today week which?
Using 'Every Sunday'
To say 'every Sunday,' use 每个星期天 (měi gè xīng qī tiān). For example, 我每个星期天都去公园。 (Wǒ měi gè xīngqītiān dōu qù gōngyuán.) - I every Sunday all go park.
Planning for Sunday
You can use 星期天 to talk about plans. For example, 你星期天有什么计划？ (Nǐ xīngqītiān yǒu shénme jìhuà?) - You Sunday have what plans?
Common Phrases
星期天快乐！ (Xīngqītiān kuàilè!) means Happy Sunday! This is a common greeting.
Don't Confuse with 周日
While 周日 (zhōu rì) also means Sunday, 星期天 is generally more common in spoken Chinese, especially in the north. Both are correct but be aware of the slight difference in usage frequency.
Example Sentence
我们星期天去海边玩。 (Wǒmen xīngqītiān qù hǎibiān wán.) - We Sunday go seaside play. (We're going to the beach on Sunday.)
Einprägen
Eselsbrücke
Think of '星期' (xīngqī) as 'week' and '天' (tiān) as 'day'. So, it literally means 'week day'. '星期天' is the 'heavenly day of the week' or the 'day of the week for rest', connecting to '天' often meaning 'sky' or 'heaven'.
Visuelle Assoziation

Practically speaking, no, there isn't a significant difference in everyday use. 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) is more casual and frequently used in spoken Chinese. 星期日 (xīng qī rì) is slightly more formal, often seen in written contexts or official schedules, but still perfectly understandable in conversation.
The days of the week in Chinese are formed by adding a number after 星期 (xīng qī). For example, Monday is 星期一 (xīng qī yī), Tuesday is 星期二 (xīng qī èr), and so on, up to Saturday which is 星期六 (xīng qī liù). Sunday is special and uses 天 (tiān - day) or 日 (rì - day/sun) instead of a number.
周日 (zhōu rì) is another way to say Sunday, and it's quite common, especially in written Chinese or when talking about a specific Sunday. 周末 (zhōu mò) means 'weekend,' so it refers to both Saturday and Sunday. You wouldn't use 周末 to specifically mean Sunday.
You can ask 'What day is it today?' by saying 今天星期几？(jīn tiān xīng qī jǐ?). The '几 (jǐ)' here asks 'which number' for the day of the week.
Here are some examples:
- 我星期天去商店。 (Wǒ xīng qī tiān qù shāng diàn.) - I go to the store on Sunday.
- 星期天你有空吗？ (Xīng qī tiān nǐ yǒu kòng ma?) - Are you free on Sunday?
- 我们星期天不工作。 (Wǒ men xīng qī tiān bù gōng zuò.) - We don't work on Sundays.
No, 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) pretty exclusively means 'Sunday' in modern Chinese. It doesn't have other common figurative or literal meanings.
Think of it this way: 星期 (xīng qī) means 'week,' and 天 (tiān) means 'day.' So, it's literally 'week day.' For Sunday, it's the special 'day' of the week. You can also associate 天 (tiān) with 'heaven' or 'sky' – Sunday is often seen as a special, perhaps more relaxing, day.
The simplified character is 星期天. The traditional character is also 星期天. In this case, they are the same.
You'd more likely see 星期日 (xīng qī rì) in formal writing, such as official documents, calendars, or public announcements. In a casual conversation with friends, 星期天 (xīng qī tiān) is almost always preferred.

Which of the following phrases correctly uses “星期天” to express a recurring event on Sundays?
“每个星期天” literally means 'every Sunday' and is the most direct and common way to express a recurring event on Sundays. While other options like '星期天常常' (often on Sunday) or '星期天都' (all Sundays) can imply recurrence, '每个星期天' specifically denotes 'every single Sunday'. '星期天一般' means 'usually on Sunday'.
When discussing plans for “星期天”, which verb is most commonly used to denote 'spending' or 'passing' the day?
“度过” is commonly used to mean 'to spend time' or 'to pass (time)', making it the most fitting verb when discussing how one plans to spend Sunday. “经历” means 'to experience', “享受” means 'to enjoy', and “消遣” means 'to divert oneself/to amuse oneself'.

When specifying a Sunday in the past, such as 'last Sunday', the word “上” (shàng) is exclusively used, e.g., '上星期天'.
Yes, when referring to 'last Sunday', the character “上” (shàng) is used before “星期天”, forming “上星期天” (shàng xīngqītiān). This is the standard and exclusive way to express 'last Sunday'.

在现代中国社会，'星期天'这个词的意义正在悄然发生变化。传统上，星期天被视为一个家庭团聚、放松休息的日子。然而，随着全球化和经济快速发展，许多人发现即使是星期天也难以完全摆脱工作的束缚。一些新兴行业，如互联网和媒体，更是模糊了工作日和休息日的界限。这种现象引发了关于工作与生活平衡的深刻讨论。一方面，持续的奋斗精神被视为成功的基石；另一方面，过度的工作压力也导致了健康问题和社会关系的疏远。如何在这种张力中找到一个健康的平衡点，是摆在当代中国人面前的一大挑战。我们是否应该重新审视星期天的价值，并为之争取更多的个人空间和自由？

那是一个再寻常不过的星期天。阳光透过梧桐树的缝隙，斑驳地洒在老旧的石板路上。空气中弥漫着淡淡的茉莉花香，和着邻家厨房飘出的饭菜味，一切都慢得恰到好处。祖母坐在藤椅上，摇着蒲扇，低声哼着我听不懂的歌谣。那时，星期天是永恒的，是没有尽头的田园诗。如今，我站在高楼的落地窗前，俯瞰着脚下奔流不息的城市。钢筋水泥的森林里，没有了梧桐，没有了茉莉，更没有了那悠长的歌谣。日历上的“星期天”依旧醒目，却再也寻不回那份沉甸甸的、被时间温柔包裹的宁静。

Read this passage:
一位旅居中国的外国作家在她的随笔中写道：“我发现中国人对‘星期天’的理解，远比西方国家来得更为复杂和多元。它既可以是忙碌工作周的延伸，也可以是寻觅片刻宁静的奢侈。有时，在看似平静的星期天背后，隐藏着对未来一周的焦虑，或是对过往时光的追忆。这个词，简简单单三个字，却能折射出无数个体与社会之间的微妙关系。”
