Days of the Week in Norwegian: Bokmål Guide with Pronunciation Tips

Norwegian Weekdays (Bokmål)

Norwegian uses the same planetary/Latin-derived names as English, but with Norse god substitutions for Tuesday–Friday. All days end in -dag (day).

• Compound Words: e.g., mandagskveld (Monday evening), fredagsmys (Friday cozy time).
• Week Start: Monday is the first day of the week (ISO 8601).
• Nynorsk Variant: Nearly identical: Måndag, Tysdag, Onsdag, Torsdag, Fredag, Laurdag, SUNDAG.
