Thursday – el jueves
(Pronounced hweh-behs)
To remember that Thursday is pronounced hweh-behs (jueves) in Spanish, use the following mnemonic:
On Thursday he was so thirsty that he drank a huge wave (jueves).
NOTE: The way Mammoth Memory remembers Thursday is to link it with being thirsty.
Please also note that days of the week in Spanish do not have capital letters, hence jueves NOT Jueves.
All days of the week are masculine, so it’s el lunes, el martes, el miércoles, el jueves, el viernes, el sábado and el domingo. Imagine seven different elephants – one for each day of the week.
NOTE: You will rarely need to put “el” or “un” before a day of the week, but it’s useful to know for those odd times when you do.
