In English, days of the week are not capitalized. This is because they are not proper nouns and they are typically used in a sentence as an adjective describing day. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Times like “Monday morning” or “Friday evening” require capitals because these phrases describe specific periods of time rather than just a day. In addition, if you’re listing out the days of the week in order (as one might do on an event calendar), then each letter should be capitalized for clarity’s sake.
In English, days have lowercase letters unless it is part of a proper noun such as Monday or Friday (remember that sentences can act as the noun). But, there are some exceptions to this rule. Times like “Monday morning” or “Friday evening” require capitals because these phrases describe specific periods of time rather than just a day. In addition, if you’re listing out the days of the week in order (as one might do on an event calendar), then each letter should be capitalized for clarity’s sake.

The Basics Which Days Fit together? What does that Mean? The first and last day of the week are often referred to as Monday and Friday. Monday is typically seen as a day for starting something new, beginning with fresh ideas or energy The Basics What? How? Why Do I Have To Start On Mondays? There are many theories behind this superstition but one that persists among people in the United States is “start on a good note.” This idea suggests that if you start your workweek off on Monday then you’ll have more success than if you started it another way. Traditional wisdom also tells us that Saturday should be reserved for cleaning up any unfinished business before Sunday when we get together with family and make time for ourselves. As a result, we could conclude that in English days of the week are not capitalized. This is because they are not proper nouns and they are typically used in a sentence as an adjective describing day. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Times like “Monday morning” or “Friday evening” require capitals because these phrases describe specific periods of time rather than just a day.

Therefore, it would seem that sometimes is necessary to capitalize them depending on how you use them… but what about other languages such as German? Let’s take a quick look at German.
German has three different ways for writing dates: ordinal, date format, and decimal system. Dates in the ordinal form (e.g., “13th January”) are always written with capitals; while decimals or time formats may as well be given in uppercase letters if they would otherwise not be so (e.g., “Friday 23:59″). If there is no explicit indication to do so, then normal sentences are generally set in lowercase letters.” The days of the week are not always capitalized. It varies depending on how they are being used in a sentence or phrase. In some cases, it can get confusing as to whether you should capitalize them or not because there is no specific rule about when and where to do so. Some people might say that if they are spoken out loud (such as in an event calendar), then each letter should be capitalized for clarity’s sake? Therefore, it could seem that sometimes is necessary to capitalize them depending on how you use them… but what about other languages such as French? Now let’s take a quick look at French. French has a widely varied use of capital letters, but in general they are not used for days or months (except when representing the full names of holidays). It is more common to capitalize them if it’s part o f a phrase within a sentence that requires capitals.”
Let’s take another quick look at Japanese.
Japanese conventions vary by context and style manual: some authorities advise using all caps with periods; others say only formal language should have upper-case letters while informal language uses lower case” Therefore, sometimes it can seem like there are no set rules for things like this. This information may come in handy for any writer who is trying to figure out how day of the week are capitalized, and what words should be used when writing about them. Hopefully by now you have a better idea on which days are typically not capitalized (unless they’re part of an official name). The next time you need to write something down that mentions these types of things, hopefully it will be easier because you’ll know exactly what goes where!
