coffeebeany asked: Hello :)
I know everything is either masculine, feminine or neutral, Der, Die or Das, but when talking about something, eg Sunday, can you just write/say Sonntag or do you have to write/say der Sonntag?

Danke!

Since the days of the week are all compound nouns the correct article is “der” because it’s “der Tag”. :) Mon-tag, Diens-tag, (Mittwoch is an exeption, but it’s also “der”), Donners-tag, Frei-tag, Sams-tag, Sonn-tag. :)
