What day is it?

Hey everyone, this weekend I decide to talk about two more questions that often lead to Cultural Miscommunications in Japan.

What day is it?

In Japanese, this is:

何曜日ですか？Nanyoubi desuka?

So the meaning is what day of the week is it?

A: What day is it?
B: It's January 30th. XXX No~!

A: What day is it?
B: It's Sunday. ^_^ YES

What's the date?

In Japanese, this is:

何日ですか？Nan nichi desuka?

So, the meaning is what day of the month is it?

A: What's the date?
B: It's Friday. XXX No~!

A: What's the date?
B: It's May 24th. YES! ^_^

楽しかった？I hope you enjoyed this Sunday mini-lesson and have a great weekend!
