A couple of other important differences that can be noticed is that, in Spanish, the days of the week are not capitalized and they are all masculine.

• el lunes
• el martes
• el miércoles
• el jueves
• el viernes
• el sábado
• el domingo

When talking about the days of the week, the definite article “el” takes on the meaning “on” instead of “the”. For example:

• el martes
• los martes
• el miércoles
• los miércoles
• el jueves
• los jueves
• el viernes
• los viernes
• el sábado
• los sábados
• el domingo
