Asking for the day of the week.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
The weekend in Nepal is only one day: Saturday (Sanibar). Sunday is the first day of the work and school week. If you ask 'Aaja kun din ho?' on a Sunday, people will be busy starting their week. Each day of the week is dedicated to a specific deity. For example, Tuesday (Mangalbar) is for Lord Hanuman, and many people avoid non-vegetarian food on this day. Nepal uses the BS calendar for official purposes. This means the 'date' (Gate) changes differently than the Gregorian calendar, but the 'day' (Din/Bar) remains synchronized with the rest of the world. Asking 'Aaja kun din ho?' is a common way to start a conversation with elders or shopkeepers, often leading to discussions about upcoming festivals or holidays.
The 'Bar' Alternative
If you want to sound more like a local, use 'आज के बार हो?' (Aaja ke bar ho?). It's the most natural way to ask for the day of the week.
Don't say 'Kati Din'
Never use 'kati' (how many) when asking for the name of the day. It's a common beginner mistake.

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल
10 सवाल'Din' is a general word for 'day' (24 hours or daylight). 'Bar' specifically refers to the seven named days of the week (Sunday-Saturday).
It's grammatically okay but very vague. It's better to say 'Aaja kun din ho?' to be clear you are asking about the day.
You say 'Hijo kun din thiyo?'. 'Hijo' is yesterday and 'thiyo' is the past tense of 'ho'.
It is neutral. You can use it with anyone. To make it very formal, add 'hajur' at the end.
This is the most common native way to ask. 'Ke bar' literally means 'which day-of-the-week'.
Ask 'आज कति गते हो?' (Aaja kati gate ho?).
Aaitabar (Sun), Sombat (Mon), Mangalbar (Tue), Budhabar (Wed), Bihibar (Thu), Shukrabar (Fri), Sanibar (Sat).
Yes, in standard Nepali questions and statements, the verb 'ho' almost always comes at the end.
Yes, it's very common. You can even shorten it to 'Aaja k bar?' in very casual texts.
