When talking about days of the week in Chinese, you'll often hear people use a simple system. For Tuesday, we say 周二 (zhōu'èr). This literally means 'week two'.
It's easy to remember: 周 (zhōu) means 'week', and 二 (èr) means 'two'. So, 'week two' is Tuesday. You can use this pattern for most other weekdays too, just change the number!
When talking about the days of the week in Chinese, you'll often see a pattern. The word for week is 星期 (xīngqī). To say Tuesday, you add the number two: 星期二 (xīngqī'èr). However, 周二 (zhōu'èr) is another very common and informal way to say Tuesday, especially in spoken Chinese and casual writing. It uses 周 (zhōu) as another word for week. You'll hear both frequently, so it's good to be familiar with them.
When talking about the days of the week in Chinese, you'll often see a pattern. The character 周 (zhōu) means 'week'.
To specify a particular day, you add a number after 周. So, for Tuesday, we use the number two: 周二 (zhōu'èr).
This is a very common and practical way to say Tuesday in everyday conversation. You can think of it like 'week two' to help you remember.
When talking about days of the week in Chinese, you'll often encounter a pattern. The character 周 (zhōu) means 'week'. To specify a day, you simply add a number after it.
For example, 周一 (zhōu yī) is Monday (literally 'week one'), 周二 (zhōu èr) is Tuesday ('week two'), and so on, all the way to 周六 (zhōu liù) for Saturday ('week six').
Sunday is a bit different; it’s usually 周日 (zhōu rì), where 日 (rì) means 'day' or 'sun'. You might also hear 星期 (xīngqī) instead of 周 (zhōu), as in 星期二 (xīngqī èr), which also means Tuesday.
Both 周 (zhōu) and 星期 (xīngqī) are commonly used, so it's good to be familiar with both. 周二 (zhōu èr) is a straightforward and widely understood way to refer to Tuesday in everyday conversations.
§ What does 周二 mean?
Let's break down 周二 (zhōu'èr). It's quite simple: it means 'Tuesday'. If you're learning Chinese, knowing the days of the week is super practical for scheduling, making plans, and just generally talking about your life. 周二 is the common, informal way to say Tuesday. You'll hear it all the time in everyday conversations.
§ When do people use 周二?
You use 周二 whenever you're talking about Tuesday, just like you would in English. It's used in casual settings, with friends, family, or even colleagues if the conversation is informal. For example, if you want to say 'See you on Tuesday' or 'My meeting is on Tuesday', 周二 is your go-to word. It's straightforward and widely understood.
- DEFINITION
- Tuesday (informal).
The Chinese system for days of the week is quite logical. It literally means 'week two'.
Let's look at some examples of how to use 周二 in sentences:
我们周二见面吧。
Wǒmen zhōu'èr jiànmiàn ba. (Let's meet on Tuesday.)
我周二要去北京。
Wǒ zhōu'èr yào qù Běijīng. (I'm going to Beijing on Tuesday.)
你周二有空吗？
Nǐ zhōu'èr yǒu kòng ma? (Are you free on Tuesday?)
It's important to note that while 周二 is common, you might also hear 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) or 礼拜二 (lǐbài'èr), which also mean Tuesday. All three are correct, but 周二 is generally considered more informal and commonly used in spoken Chinese. Don't worry too much about the differences for now; just recognize that they all refer to Tuesday. Focus on mastering 周二 first, as it's perfectly fine for most situations.
So, to sum it up, 周二 is your friendly, everyday 'Tuesday'. Incorporate it into your vocabulary, and you'll be able to talk about your schedule and appointments with ease. It's a fundamental building block for discussing time in Chinese. Practice saying it, hearing it, and using it in simple sentences. You'll get the hang of it quickly!
- Use 周二 for informal conversations about Tuesday.
- Remember the pattern: 周 (week) + number (day).
- Don't be surprised to hear 星期二 or 礼拜二, but stick with 周二 for now.

- Making plans:

Basic Weekday Structure
The Chinese word for 'week' is 星期 (xīngqī). To form the days of the week, you add numbers after 星期. For example, 星期一 (xīngqīyī) is Monday, and 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) is Tuesday.
Number '二' (èr) for Two
In '周二' and '星期二', the character 二 (èr) means 'two'. This pattern is consistent for all days of the week up to Saturday (星期六).
Alternative for Week
Besides 星期, another common word for 'week' is 周 (zhōu). So, '周二' is an informal way to say Tuesday, using 周 instead of 星期.
Context of '周二'
You'll often hear '周二' in casual conversations, schedules, or when stating a specific date. It's concise and widely understood.
Practice with Sentences
Try saying sentences like: '我们周二见面' (Wǒmen zhōu'èr jiànmiàn) - We meet on Tuesday. Or '周二有课' (Zhōu'èr yǒu kè) - There is class on Tuesday.
Don't Mix Week Words
While both 星期 and 周 mean 'week', don't mix them when forming days of the week. It's either 星期二 or 周二, not '星期周二'.
Sunday is Special
Note that Sunday doesn't follow the number pattern. It's 星期天 (xīngqītiān) or 星期日 (xīngqīrì), meaning 'heaven' or 'sun/day' respectively.
Formal vs. Informal
星期二 is generally more formal or standard, while 周二 is more common in everyday spoken Chinese and slightly more informal.
Memorize the Pattern
Once you learn 星期一, 星期二, etc., and their 周 counterparts, you've mastered the basic weekday structure in Chinese.
Use a Calendar App
Change your phone or computer calendar to display in Chinese. This will give you constant exposure to 周一, 周二, 周三, and so on.
Wortherkunft

Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: The second day of the week.
Sino-Tibetan, Sinitic, MandarinKultureller Kontext
In Chinese culture, the numerical system for days of the week makes it very easy to remember and use. '周二' is commonly used in everyday conversation and writing, and it's a direct and practical way to refer to Tuesday. It's often heard in casual settings and for scheduling appointments.
Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenThe most common way to say 'Tuesday' in Chinese is 周二 (zhōu'èr). You might also hear 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) or 礼拜二 (lǐbài'èr).
周二 (zhōu'èr) is informal. It's what you'd typically use in everyday conversations. For slightly more formal contexts, 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) is a good choice.
Think of 周 (zhōu) meaning 'week' and 二 (èr) meaning 'two'. So, it literally means 'week two' or 'second day of the week' (counting from Monday).
They all mean 'Tuesday'. 周二 (zhōu'èr) is the most informal and commonly used. 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) is standard and widely understood. 礼拜二 (lǐbài'èr) is also common, especially in some southern regions of China and Taiwan.
You can say:
- 我们周二见面。 (Wǒmen zhōu'èr jiànmiàn.) - We'll meet on Tuesday.
- 我周二要去北京。 (Wǒ zhōu'èr yào qù Běijīng.) - I'm going to Beijing on Tuesday.
No, 周二 (zhōu'èr) specifically refers to 'Tuesday'. If you wanted to say 'the second week', you would say 第二周 (dì'èr zhōu).
You wouldn't use 周二 to ask that directly. You would ask: 今天是星期几？ (Jīntiān shì xīngqī jǐ?) - What day of the week is it today?
Yes! You can say:
- 下周二 (xià zhōu'èr) - next Tuesday
- 上周二 (shàng zhōu'èr) - last Tuesday
The pinyin for 周二 is zhōu'èr.
No, just saying '周' (zhōu) means 'week'. You need the '二' (èr) to specify it's Tuesday. For example, if you just said '我周去北京', it would mean 'I'm going to Beijing this week', not specifically 'on Tuesday'.

Basic Weekday Structure
The Chinese word for 'week' is 星期 (xīngqī). To form the days of the week, you add numbers after 星期. For example, 星期一 (xīngqīyī) is Monday, and 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) is Tuesday.
Number '二' (èr) for Two
In '周二' and '星期二', the character 二 (èr) means 'two'. This pattern is consistent for all days of the week up to Saturday (星期六).
Alternative for Week
Besides 星期, another common word for 'week' is 周 (zhōu). So, '周二' is an informal way to say Tuesday, using 周 instead of 星期.
Context of '周二'
You'll often hear '周二' in casual conversations, schedules, or when stating a specific date. It's concise and widely understood.
