<P> In Italian, Sunday is called "Domenica", which also means "Lord's Day" (from Latin "Dies Dominica"). One finds similar cognates in French, where the name is "Dimanche", as well as Romanian ("Duminică") and Spanish and Portuguese ("Domingo"). </P> <P> Slavic languages implicitly number Monday as day number one, not two . For example, Polish has czwartek (4th) for Thursday and piątek (5th) for Friday . Hungarian péntek (Friday) is a Slavic loanword, so the correlation with "five" is not evident to Hungarians . Hungarians use Vasárnap for Sunday, which means "market day". Bulgarian понеделник and Russian понедельник (Monday) literally mean "after no work", Russian вторник (Tuesday) means "second day", среда (Wednesday) means "middle day", четверг (Thursday) means "fourth day", пятница (Friday) means "fifth day", суббота (Saturday) means "sabbath", and воскресение (Sunday) means "resurrection (of Jesus)" (that is the day of a week which commemorates it). In Old Russian Sunday was also called неделя "free day" or "day with no work", but in the contemporary language this word means "week". </P> <P> In the Maltese language, due to its Siculo - Arabic origin, Sunday is called "Il - Ħadd", a corruption of "wieħed" meaning "one". Monday is "It - Tnejn" meaning "two". Similarly Tuesday is "It - Tlieta" (three), Wednesday is "L - Erbgħa" (four) and Thursday is "Il - Ħamis" (five). </P> <P> In Armenian, Monday is (Yerkoushabti) literally meaning 2nd day of the week, Tuesday (Yerekshabti) 3rd day, Wednesday (Chorekshabti) 4th day, Thursday (Hingshabti) 5th day . Saturday is (Shabat) coming from the word Sabbath or Shabbath in Hebrew, and "Kiraki" coming from the word "Krak" meaning "fire" is Sunday, "Krak" describing the sun by fire . Apostle John also refers to the "Lord's Day" (in Greek, Κυριακή ἡμέρα, "kyriake hemera" i.e. the day of the Lord) in Rev. 1: 10, which is another possible origin of the Armenian word for Sunday . </P>
