English = Friday
Danish = Fredag

Fredag means Freja's day. Fre as in short for Freja, which is this norse goddess:


https://da.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freja

Friday is not far from that, but some of the other days must mean something else in English. Wednesday, for example. "Wednes"? What the hell does that mean? In Danish, that day is "Onsdag", which is short for "Odin's day".

I guess in old english Odin was known as Wodan and in German it was Wodanaz.

Art Is Dead. Buy My ****.

Oh that's interesting. I always assumed most of the English day names meant something completely different.

EDIT: I just checked Saturday out of curiousity, and that one is completely different between Danish and English.

English = Comes from the roman/latin name "Diēs Sātūrnī" which means "Saturn's day"
Danish = A corruption of the ancient nordic spelling "laugardagr" which meant "washing day". So I guess I'm supposed to do my laundry tomorrow.

I always hoped it came from a love of goth girls.

I just ate a hamburger so I told her I feel dead inside.




^Is it just me or was that line a bit Neapolitan-esque?

We also got Tuesday from Tiw or Tyr, Thursday from Thor, and Friday from Frig (who is often conflated with Freya). No idea why this is.

Probably just the US' relation to the Brit's and the historical Brit's relation to Vikings.

Although one would think those names would have been changed again centuries later, but apparently not.

I'm just assuming it's a Roman thing where they adopted Germanic culture to naming conventions for the sake of integrating them.

TFW one of the most gorgeous women you've ever seen in your life only does softcore but you're willing to make it work. For the kids.
