[edit] The days of the week
Several of the days of the week have names related to numbers. Except for Σαββατο, Saturday, which is neuter, they are all feminine.

| Τρίτη (Third day) | Tuesday |
| Τετάρτη (Fourth day) | Wednesday |
| Πέμπτη (Fifth day) | Thursday |
| Παρασκευή ("Preparation") | Friday |
| Σάββατο ("Sabbath") | Saturday |
Vocabulary:
| η μέρα | the day |
| χτες (alt.sp. χθες) | yesterday |
| σήμερα | today |
| αύριο | tomorrow |
[edit] Saying what day it is
This is the way I would assume that it would be said. Is capitalising standard? Is the form of my question right? Is it idiomatic?
| Είναι Παρασκευή. | It is Friday. |
| Σήμερα είναι τετάρτη. | Today is wednesday. |
| Τι η μέρα είναι? | What day is it? |
