You'll often hear people talk about the days of the week in Chinese. It's super practical for making plans! Let's learn how to say 'Wednesday'.
The Chinese word for Wednesday is 周三 (zhōusān).
The first character, 周 (zhōu), means 'week'. The second character, 三 (sān), means 'three'. So, literally, it's 'week three' or 'third day of the week'.
You can use 周三 when you want to mention something happening on Wednesday, like "I have a meeting on Wednesday."
When learning Chinese, mastering the days of the week is a fundamental step, and 周三 (zhōusān) is a key term you'll use frequently. It directly translates to 'Wednesday' and is part of a very straightforward pattern for naming the days of the week in Chinese. This term is considered A2 level because it's a basic, high-frequency word essential for daily communication. Understanding this pattern will help you quickly pick up the other days as well.
When talking about days of the week in Chinese, a common and straightforward way is to use numbers. For Wednesday, we use “周三” (zhōu sān). The character “周” (zhōu) means 'week', and “三” (sān) means 'three', so literally it's 'week three'.
This pattern applies to other days as well. For example, Monday is “周一” (zhōu yī), Tuesday is “周二” (zhōu èr), and so on, until Saturday which is “周六” (zhōu liù). Sunday is a bit different, it's “周日” (zhōu rì) or “星期天” (xīng qī tiān).
While “星期三” (xīng qī sān) is also perfectly correct and means Wednesday, “周三” is a slightly more informal and often quicker way to say it in everyday conversation. Both are widely understood and used, so you can choose whichever you prefer.
Using “周三” is a great way to sound more natural in your Chinese conversations.
When talking about days of the week in Chinese, you'll often encounter a pattern. The word for week is 星期 (xīngqī). To specify a day, you add a number after 星期. For example, 星期一 (xīngqīyī) is Monday (literally 'week one'), 星期二 (xīngqī'èr) is Tuesday ('week two'), and so on.
For Wednesday, it follows this pattern: 星期三 (xīngqīsān). So, 星期三 means 'week three'.
However, there's another common way to say Wednesday, and that's 周三 (zhōusān). The character 周 (zhōu) also means week. It's often used informally and in written contexts, similar to how we might abbreviate days in English (e.g., 'Wed' for Wednesday).
Both 星期三 and 周三 are perfectly correct and widely understood. You'll hear and see both frequently, so it's good to be familiar with both forms. Think of 周三 as a slightly more concise or informal way to say 星期三.

- Informal way to say Wednesday.
- Literally means 'week three'.
- Commonly used in daily conversation.
Alright, let's break down how to use 周三 (zhōu sān) – that's 'Wednesday' in Chinese. It's pretty straightforward, but knowing a few common patterns will make you sound much more natural.
§ Basic Placement of 周三
The most common way to use 周三 is simply to state it. It acts like a regular noun for a day of the week.
今天周三。
- Translation Hint
- Today is Wednesday.
我周三有空。
- Translation Hint
- I am free on Wednesday.
§ Specifying a Wednesday
When you want to talk about 'this Wednesday,' 'next Wednesday,' or 'last Wednesday,' you just add the relevant time word before 周三.
这 (zhè) / 这个 (zhè ge) + 周三: This Wednesday
你这周三忙吗？
- Translation Hint
- Are you busy this Wednesday?
下 (xià) + 周三: Next Wednesday
我们下周三见面吧。
- Translation Hint
- Let's meet next Wednesday.
上 (shàng) + 周三: Last Wednesday
他上周三去北京了。
- Translation Hint
- He went to Beijing last Wednesday.
§ Prepositions with 周三
Unlike English, Chinese often doesn't need explicit prepositions like 'on' or 'at' when talking about days of the week. The time phrase usually just precedes the verb or is placed at the beginning of the sentence.
周三我有一个会议。
- Translation Hint
- On Wednesday, I have a meeting. (Or: I have a meeting on Wednesday.)
However, if you want to emphasize 'from' or 'until' a certain day, you'll use specific prepositions.
从 (cóng) + 周三: From Wednesday
我们从周三开始放假。
- Translation Hint
- We start our holiday from Wednesday.
到 (dào) + 周三: Until Wednesday / Arrive on Wednesday (depends on context)
这项工作需要到周三完成。
- Translation Hint
- This work needs to be finished by Wednesday.
我周三到上海。
- Translation Hint
- I arrive in Shanghai on Wednesday.
§ Asking About Wednesday
When you want to ask 'What's happening on Wednesday?' or 'Are you free on Wednesday?', you generally use the same structure as a statement, often with a question particle like 吗 (ma) or by substituting an interrogative pronoun like 什么 (shénme) for the information you're asking about.
你周三做什么？
- Translation Hint
- What are you doing on Wednesday?
周三开会吗？
- Translation Hint
- Is there a meeting on Wednesday?
§ Where you actually hear this word — work, school, news
Alright, let's talk about where you'll really hear 周三 (zhōu sān) out in the wild. This isn't just a textbook word; it's everywhere because people need to talk about their schedule. You'll hear it often when discussing plans, deadlines, and events in everyday life, especially in a professional or academic setting.
Think about work. How many times a week do you mention a specific day? Probably a lot. 周三 (zhōu sān) is a common one. Maybe you have a recurring meeting, a project deadline, or an event on Wednesday. It's the same in Chinese. Your colleagues or boss will use this word to communicate schedules and expectations. You'll hear it in casual conversations about work, or more formally in meeting discussions.
我们周三开会。
- Translation hint
- We have a meeting on Wednesday.
Or maybe you're talking about a project deadline:
报告要在周三前交。
- Translation hint
- The report needs to be submitted by Wednesday.
In a school environment, 周三 (zhōu sān) is just as prevalent. Students and teachers constantly use it to talk about classes, assignments, exams, and extracurricular activities. You might hear:
关于课程安排 (guānyú kèchéng ānpái - regarding class schedule)
关于作业截止日期 (guānyú zuòyè jiézhǐ rìqī - regarding assignment deadlines)
我们的中文课在周三。
- Translation hint
- Our Chinese class is on Wednesday.
Or perhaps:
图书馆周三闭馆。
- Translation hint
- The library is closed on Wednesday.
Beyond work and school, you'll also encounter 周三 (zhōu sān) in the news, especially when discussing events that are planned for a specific day. Think about weather forecasts, government announcements, or cultural events. News anchors, reporters, and interviewees will use this word to inform the public about when things are happening.
预计周三有大雨。
- Translation hint
- Heavy rain is expected on Wednesday.
Or for an event:
新电影周三上映。
- Translation hint
- The new movie will be released on Wednesday.
So, whether you're chatting with friends, listening to the news, or dealing with professional matters, 周三 (zhōu sān) is a basic but essential piece of vocabulary for navigating daily life in Chinese. Get comfortable with it, and you'll find yourself understanding a lot more of what's going on around you.

Wichtige Grammatik
Chinese days of the week follow a simple pattern: '星期' (xīngqī) followed by a number. For Wednesday, it's 星期三 (xīngqī sān). '周' (zhōu) can replace '星期' in informal contexts, so 周三 (zhōu sān) is also commonly used.
我周三有中文课。(Wǒ zhōusān yǒu zhōngwén kè.) - I have Chinese class on Wednesday.
When asking 'What day is it?', you can use '星期几?' (xīngqī jǐ?) or '周几?' (zhōu jǐ?). '几' (jǐ) here means 'which (number)'.
今天周几？(Jīntiān zhōu jǐ?) - What day is it today?
To express 'every Wednesday', you can say '每周三' (měi zhōusān) or '每个星期三' (měi gè xīngqī sān).

To talk about 'next Wednesday' or 'last Wednesday', you can use '下周三' (xià zhōusān) and '上周三' (shàng zhōusān) respectively. This is similar to '下个星期三' and '上个星期三'.
下周三我们去北京。(Xià zhōusān wǒmen qù Běijīng.) - We're going to Beijing next Wednesday.
When stating a date including the day of the week, the day of the week usually comes after the date or before the activity. For example, '三月二十日周三' (sān yuè èrshí rì zhōusān) means 'Wednesday, March 20th'.
我的生日是九月七号周三。(Wǒ de shēngrì shì jiǔ yuè qī hào zhōusān.) - My birthday is on Wednesday, September 7th.

So verwendest du es
周三 (zhōusān) is an informal way to say Wednesday. It's very commonly used in everyday conversation. You'll hear it much more often than the formal 星期三 (xīngqīsān). Think of it like saying 'Wed' instead of 'Wednesday' in English, but it's still considered polite enough for most situations.
A common mistake is to always use 星期三 (xīngqīsān). While not strictly wrong, it can sound a bit formal in casual settings. Stick with 周三 for most daily conversations about the day of the week.
Tipps
Basic Word Order
In Chinese, the days of the week follow a simple pattern: 星期 (xīngqī) + a number. So, for Wednesday, it's 星期三 (xīngqīsān). '周三' is an informal shorthand.
Numbers for Days
Memorize the numbers 一 (yī) through 六 (liù) for Monday through Saturday. Sunday is special: 星期天 (xīngqītiān) or 星期日 (xīngqīrì).
Use in Sentences
Practice using '周三' in simple sentences. For example, '我周三有课' (Wǒ zhōusān yǒu kè) means 'I have class on Wednesday'.
Formal vs. Informal
While '周三' is common in casual speech and writing, '星期三' is more formal. Understand when to use each based on the context.
Listen for Context
When listening to conversations, pay attention to how native speakers refer to days. You'll often hear '周一', '周二', etc., in everyday talk.
Practice Writing
Write down the days of the week, including '周三', multiple times. This helps with character recognition and recall.
Calendar Association
Look at a Chinese calendar and associate '周三' with the third day of the week. Visual aids can be very helpful.
Review Regularly
Like all vocabulary, regular review is key. Quiz yourself on the days of the week, including '周三', to keep them fresh in your mind.
Don't Overthink
Don't get bogged down in why '周' means week. Just accept it as a common way to say 'week' in this informal context.
Combine with Verbs
Practice creating phrases like '周三去购物' (zhōusān qù gòuwù - go shopping on Wednesday) or '周三见面' (zhōusān jiànmiàn - meet on Wednesday).

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenBoth 周三 (zhōusān) and 星期三 (xīngqīsān) mean Wednesday. 周三 is a more informal and common way to say it, especially in spoken Chinese. 星期三 is also widely used and is a bit more formal, but both are perfectly understood.
You can use 周三 just like you would use 'Wednesday' in English. For example, '我周三有课' (Wǒ zhōusān yǒu kè) means 'I have class on Wednesday.' Another example: '我们周三见面吧' (Wǒmen zhōusān jiànmiàn ba) means 'Let's meet on Wednesday.'
Yes, that's correct. 周 (zhōu) has a first (flat) tone, and 三 (sān) has a first (flat) tone. So it's zhōu sān. Don't worry too much about perfect tones at first, but try to get them right as you practice.
Great question! The pattern is simple:
周一 (zhōuyī): Monday
周二 (zhōuyī): Tuesday
周三 (zhōusān): Wednesday
周四 (zhōusì): Thursday
周五 (zhōuwǔ): Friday
周六 (zhōuliù): Saturday
周日 (zhōurì) or 周末 (zhōumò): Sunday (and weekend for the latter).
For formal documents or very official emails, 星期三 might be slightly preferred, but 周三 is still acceptable and commonly used even in written communication. It's not considered impolite or unprofessional.
Yes, the character 周 (zhōu) itself means 'week' or 'cycle'. So when you say 周三, you're literally saying 'week three', which translates to Wednesday because Monday is 'week one', Tuesday is 'week two', and so on.
You can ask '今天周几？' (Jīntiān zhōu jǐ?). 今天 (jīntiān) means 'today', and 几 (jǐ) means 'which' or 'how many'. So, 'Today week which?' makes perfect sense in Chinese.
A very common phrase is '周三愉快!' (Zhōusān yúkuài!), which means 'Happy Wednesday!' You might hear this from colleagues or friends.
In contexts with English speakers or in very globalized environments, some Chinese speakers might use 'Wednesday' if they are comfortable in English. However, when speaking Chinese among themselves, they will always use 周三 or 星期三.
The easiest way to remember this is that in Chinese, the days of the week are numbered starting from Monday as one. So, 一 (yī) is Monday, 二 (èr) is Tuesday, and 三 (sān) is Wednesday. Just remember the simple counting sequence for the days.
