Friday

Friday, the best day of the week, if you ask me.


Let's see what Friday is in other languages.


French: Vendredi
Italian: Venerdi
Spanish: viernes
German: Freitag
Latin: dies Veneris


All the Romance translations are based on the Latin which translates to "day of Venus". What is the Germanic equivalent of Venus? Frigg (or Friya), the wife of Odin, who was also the goddess of love.
