Describe a good day, count workdays and ask which day a meeting is on.

The idea

Día means day and is masculine: el día, un día. The plural is los días. Before a singular masculine noun, bueno normally becomes buen: un buen día.

Examples

  • Hoy es un buen día.Today is a good day.
  • El día empieza temprano.The day starts early.
  • Trabajo cinco días a la semana.I work five days a week.
  • ¿Qué día es la reunión?What day is the meeting?
  • Los días de verano son largos.Summer days are long.
  • Necesito dos días para terminar.I need two days to finish.

Watch out

The final -a does not make día feminine. Its written accent remains in the plural días.
