And our Saturday is zaterdag, so I'm guessing that's Saturn related too.

And the Dutch, the Germans, the Danes, the Icelanders, and a load of others are with us.<br /><br />The French have <i>Lundi</i> (<i>Lune-di</i>, or Moon-day), but their name for Sunday is <i>Dimanche</i>, which I'm informed translates as "Day of the Lord" (somehow derived from "Dominica"). They got most of the other Romance languages with them on that.<br /><br />Eastern Europe goes all weird on us, here. You get some cool moments, like the Russian "Day of Resurrection," but most of them refer to Sunday as "Do-Nothing Day," and Monday as "(The Day) After Do-Nothing Day." I guess that's pretty direct.David Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00886477189793178895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33102309.post-57833496275848886732010-11-24T18:21:52.765+01:002010-11-24T18:21:52.765+01:00Very interesting indeed.Very interesting indeed.Yagizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06688088899466416425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33102309.post-33981339219836061592010-11-24T17:48:27.320+01:002010-11-24T17:48:27.320+01:00...And in Norway we have Lørdag, from Laugardag, o......And in Norway we have Lørdag, from Laugardag, or washing day. <br />-So how is Saturn connected with washing did you say? :-P<br /><br />-Just kidding, interesting post.
