Being able to ask and tell the days in German is essential for daily conversations. Whether you're setting up a meeting, planning an event, or just asking for today's date, knowing the right phrases will make communication easier.
To ask what day it is, you can say "Welcher Tag ist heute?" (What day is today?). Another common question is "Welchen Tag haben wir heute?", which means the same thing. If you need to ask about a specific day, you can say "Welcher Tag ist morgen?" (What day is tomorrow?) or "Welcher Tag war gestern?" (What day was yesterday?).
To respond, you simply use "Heute ist Montag." (Today is Monday.) The same structure applies to other days in German, such as "Heute ist Mittwoch." (Today is Wednesday.). When discussing past or future days, you can say "Gestern war Freitag." (Yesterday was Friday.) or "Morgen ist Sonntag." (Tomorrow is Sunday.). Practicing these phrases will help you navigate conversations smoothly while improving your German skills.
