Spanish Word of the Day
Monday, June 24, 2013
martes, noun
Tuesday
Tuesday
Like other Spanish days of the week, martes is not written with a capital letter and it is masculine. And like other days of the week ending in ‘-es’, such as lunes, martes is the same in the singular and the plural.
todos los martes
every Tuesday
Jugamos los martes.
We play on Tuesdays.
Many English-speakers feel that Friday 13th is unlucky. For Spanish-speakers the equivalent is martes y trece, Tuesday 13th. There is even a little rhyme to remind you:
En martes, no te cases ni te embarques.
Don’t get married or set sail on a Tuesday.
