Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need to capitalize 'domingo'?
No. In Spanish, days of the week are written in lowercase unless they happen to be the very first word of a sentence. This is a common difference between Spanish and English.
Why is 'domingo' a masculine word?
All the days of the week (lunes, martes, etc.) are treated as masculine nouns in Spanish. This means you always use 'el' or 'los' with them.
