It's Saturday! And you know that this means we'll look at Saturday in other languages.
French: samedi
Italian: Sabato
Spanish: Sabado
German: Samstag
Latin: dies Saturni
English and Latin have the same root, the Roman god Saturn, while the others refer to the day of Sabbath, which has always been Saturday. East Germans sometimes use Sonnabend, which literally means Sunday Eve.
