Tuesday is the day of the week landing in between Monday and Wednesday.
It sure is. I hate Tuesdays my self.
Most common calendars list Tuesdays as the 3rd day of the week.
If you consider Sunday as day 1, that makes sense.
The international standard lists it as the second day of the week.
I like that way better myself. I've always seen Sunday as the last day of the week.
The old English translation of Tuesday literally means Tiw's Day.
That's really weird. It's funny how stuff changes over the years.
Tuesday
Tuesday is the day of the week between Monday and Wednesday. According to international standard ISO 8601, Monday is the first day of the week and so Tuesday is the second day of the week. According to some commonly used calendars, however, especially in the United States, Sunday is the first day of the week and so Tuesday is the third day of the week. The English name is derived from Old English "Tiwesdæg" and Middle English "Tewesday," meaning "Tīw's Day", the
(Eastern Orthodox Church) also retain the ecclesiastical tradition (Portuguese "segunda-feira", Greek "Δευτέρα" ""devtéra"" "second"). Likewise the Modern Hebrew name for Monday is "yom-sheni" (יום שני).
In modern times, it has become more common to consider Monday the first day of the week.
The international ISO 8601 standard places Monday as the first day of the week, and this is widely used on calendars in Europe and in international business.
