What Does This Days of the Week in Korean Quiz Cover?

The quiz has 14 questions. Five ask which day a name is, two ask about the element behind a name or how it is pronounced, three ask for the meaning of 요일, 평일 and 주말, and four use today, tomorrow, every week and next week. The full lesson also covers 휴일 and 공휴일 and the weeks and months words; the quiz keeps to the first ones you need.

The lesson behind the quiz is days of the week in korean, which lists 20 words with Revised Romanization, audio and an example sentence. The quiz uses the seven day names and eight of the other words.

How Is the Days of the Week in Korean Quiz Scored?

The quiz gives one point for each of the 14 questions you answer correctly on the first try in the current session. At the end it shows a line such as "You answered 11 of 14 correctly in this session". There is no timer, no streak and no ranking, so you can slow down and say each answer aloud.

The count is not a CEFR level, a TOPIK level or a measure of fluency. It only shows what you recalled today. Your answers and score stay in your browser and disappear when you close the tab, unless you choose to save progress on your own device. The element questions are not trivia: each day has a one-syllable name that is easier to remember once you know what it means.

What Do the Day Names Mean?

Each of the seven day names is a Sino-Korean word: one syllable from the Chinese characters for the moon, the sun or one of five elements, followed by 요일 (yoil, 曜日, "day of the week"). Learn the first syllable and you know which day it is.

Four names change when spoken. A final consonant in 월, 목, 금 or 일 moves onto the empty ㅇ of 요, so 월요일 sounds like 워료일 and 목요일 like 모교일.

Which Week Words Does the Quiz Use?

These words appear in the questions. Most of them are short, and the three words for today, yesterday and tomorrow take no 에 when you use them in a sentence.

To say a day with "on", add 에 after the name: 월요일에 학교에 가요 (woryoire hakgyoe gayo) means "I go to school on Monday".

Sample Question 2 and Its Answer

Question: Which day is 일요일 (iryoil)?

Choices: Saturday; Wednesday; Monday; Sunday.

Sample Question 3 and Its Answer

Question: What does 주말 (jumal) mean?

Choices: weekend; weekday; every week; next week.

Answer: weekend. Why: 주 means week and 말 means end, so 주말 is the weekend.

Sample Question 5 and Its Answer

Question: Which day is 토요일 (toyoil)?

Choices: Saturday; Sunday; Friday; Monday.

Answer: Saturday. Why: 토 (土) means earth, so 토요일 is Saturday, the first day of the weekend.

Sample Question 6 and Its Answer

Question: How do you say Wednesday?

Choices: 목요일; 화요일; 수요일; 금요일.

Answer: 수요일. Why: 수 (水) means water, so 수요일 (suyoil) is Wednesday. 화요일 is Tuesday and 목요일 is Thursday.

Tips before You Start

• Learn the pairs: 월 moon, 화 fire, 수 water, 목 wood, 금 metal, 토 earth, 일 sun.
• Always add 요일 when you mean the day of the week. 월 alone is not the day name.
• Say 화요일 and 수요일 aloud one after the other. They differ only in the first syllable, so many learners swap them.
• For the pronunciation question, remember that a final consonant moves forward when the next syllable starts with ㅇ.

Which Mistakes Does the Days of the Week in Korean Quiz Catch?

Four errors cover most misses.

• Mixing 화요일 and 수요일, which share the same ending and differ only in the first syllable.
• Forgetting 요일 and answering with just the first syllable.
• Mixing up 월요일 (Monday) with month words, because 월 (月) also appears in month names such as 일월.
• Adding 에 to 오늘, 어제 or 내일, which do not take it.

What Should You Study after the Quiz?

Drill the names with the days of the week in korean flashcards, and reread the days of the week in korean lesson for any group you missed. To train your ear on the changed sounds, try the korean listening discrimination tool. The next quiz in the sequence is the months in korean quiz.

Answer Key for Questions 7 to 14

What Does This Quiz Not Do?

The quiz covers the seven day names and a small set of week words. It does not test 휴일 and 공휴일, date formats, months or the week-of-the-month words. It does not teach the hanja characters beyond their meanings, and a hanja question never needs you to read them. Written schedules and calendars often shorten day names to the first syllable, such as 월 and 화; in speech, say the full name. All Korean text in the questions and answers was generated and is waiting for review by a Korean reviewer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to know hanja to take the days of the week quiz?

No. The quiz only uses the meanings of the first syllable, such as moon, fire and water, and every reason line gives the meaning in English. The characters appear as a memory aid. You will not be asked to read or write them.

Why does every day name end in 요일?

요일 (曜日) means day of the week, and it is added to a one-syllable name for the sun, the moon or an element. So 월 plus 요일 gives Monday. If you say only 월, listeners may hear month, as in 일월 (January), not the day.

Does the quiz use audio?

Most questions have a replay button for the Korean word or phrase. If a clip is missing, the replay button is hidden and the question still works as text.

How do I say "on Monday" in Korean?

Add the particle 에 after the day name: 월요일에 (woryoire). You do not add it to 오늘, 어제 or 내일. The quiz does not test this directly, but its example sentences use the pattern, so you can practise it as you read the reasons.

Is the quiz free?

Yes. The quiz is free, needs no account and runs in your browser on a phone, tablet or computer. Nothing you answer is uploaded to a server. If you choose to save progress, it is stored on your own device only, and you can delete it in the settings at any time.

Retake the Days of the Week in Korean Quiz

Retake the days of the week in korean quiz once you can recite 월, 화, 수, 목, 금, 토, 일 with their meanings. The reason line for each question is also a mini-lesson, so reading it twice often helps more than a fast retake. When the week feels easy, move on to the months.
