معنی
Asking for the day of the week
زمینه فرهنگی
In Indian Punjab, the names of the days are heavily influenced by Sanskrit. Sunday is 'Aitvar', Monday is 'Somvar', etc. Many people follow religious fasts on specific days. In Pakistani Punjab (written in Shahmukhi), the names of the days are the same, but you might hear more Persian/Arabic influences in general conversation about time. In the diaspora (UK, Canada, USA), Punjabis often use the English names for days (Monday, Tuesday) even while speaking Punjabi, but the question 'ਅੱਜ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਦਿਨ ਹੈ?' remains the same. In villages, time is often referred to by the 'Pahar' (3-hour blocks). Asking for the day is common, but people might also refer to the day by the local market event.
Use 'Ji' for respect
Always add 'ji' at the end (ਅੱਜ ਕਿਹੜਾ ਦਿਨ ਹੈ ਜੀ?) when talking to elders or teachers.
Don't say 'Kaun'
Never use 'Kaun' (Who) for days. It sounds very strange to native speakers.
