意味
Asks for the current day of the week.
文化的背景
The concept of 'Fire Friday' (불금) is huge. Asking '오늘 무슨 요일입니까?' on a Friday often leads to people talking about their evening plans for 'Chimaek' (chicken and beer). In companies, the week is often divided by reporting cycles. Monday is for 'Weekly Meetings' (주간 회의). Asking the day is often a way to gauge the stress level of the office. While the 7-day week is modern, the names (Fire, Water, Wood, etc.) connect to the 'Five Elements' (오행). Some older Koreans still consider these elements when choosing 'lucky days' for events. Students often have '요일별 시간표' (schedules by day). Asking the day is the first thing students do to check which books to bring to class.
The '이' Particle
Adding '이' after '오늘' (오늘이 무슨 요일입니까?) makes you sound more grammatically precise, which is great for exams or formal writing.
Don't use '뭐'
English speakers often want to say '오늘 뭐 요일...', but this is a major grammatical error. Always use '무슨'.

The 'Fire Friday' Response
If someone asks you this on a Friday, answering '금요일입니다' is fine, but adding '불금이네요!' (It's Fire Friday!) makes you sound very natural.
Politeness Matters
When in doubt, use this '-입니까' or the '-이에요' form. Never use the casual '이야' with someone older than you.
