Can you name the words for the days of the week in these 33 European languages?
Spelling must be exact, accent marks are not required
Several transliteration schemes of Cyrillic and Greek are accepted
Inspired by www.jetpunk.com/quizzes/days-of-the-week-in-europe-quiz and www.jetpunk.com/user-quizzes/176134/days-of-the-week-in-europe-quiz-pro-version
That would create the question, does the week start on Monday or Sunday (or even Saturday according to some Islamic countries outside Europe). For example, the Portuguese words for Monday (segunda-feira) to Friday (sexta-feira) assume that the week starts on Sunday, even though in Portugal the week starts on Monday. The only way to avoid such confusion is to use the English words as hints.
Great quiz, but you need to accept some type-ins on the Ukrainian for Friday. I tried everything I could think of (p'yatnitsya, p'iatnitsia, p'yatnicya, etc.). The j is not a normal transliteration.
Also, if you would like to add Icelandic, the words (starting from Monday) are mánudagur, þridjudagur, miðvikudagur, fimmtudagur, föstudagur, laugardagur, sunnudagur. The letter thorn (Þþ) in Tuesday is the TH sound of think, and the letter edh (Ðð) in Wednesday is the TH sound of then. (Fun fact: the word for Saturday, laugardagur, means "laundry day", and the main street of Reykjavík, Laugavegur, means "laundry road" since it leads to a hot spring where women used to wash clothes.
P'yatnitsya should've already been accepted (as pyatnitsya, because Jetpunk doesn't care about apostrophes) but I had made a typo, sorry! I've also added pyatnicya as an accepted answer. On another note, I won't be adding any more languages, because 33 is already too many for most people.
The irish ones all seemed to have shifted a day. Is that correct?
And wow, I got 45, average is 63 that is high! didnt expect it so high. cause unlike with numbers there isnt much to guess here, either you know it or you dont)
got most of the germanic and french. And domingo (and two lucky hits lunes and luni)
I wanted to say it has only been taken 55 times, so maybe that skews things a bit (not the general public but mainly the language fanatics taking the quiz)
but weirdly there are only 20 different results... with 4.2% per instance, a few multiples of that, so if you see each 4.2 block as one test taker it looks like the test has been take 24 times... the odds are quite impossible for the other 25 times to land on the exact same amount of right answers than the first 20.
actually the 4.2% corresponds exactly with the test being taken 24 times...Then why does it say it has been taken 55 times....???
regardless. 3 out of those 24 testtaker had the following scores. 227,224 and 216. Besides seemingly being an impossible feat to score this high (without cheating) again, the chances that 3 out of 24 people are such geniuses in language arent quit realistic..
the next lowest is wayyy downto 100 which sounds like a very good but reasonable score.
I did the math ( yes I like numbers aswell as language ;) ) and if you leave those that got the unrealistic allmost 100%. The average will be 41 instead of 63 (I got 63.58 it gets rounded down I guess).
41 looks a lot more what you could expect for a quiz like this.
About the percentages, the stats page only shows the results since the last update to the quiz. Or at least it was like that a few years ago (when I still actively Jetpunked).
