What it means
Vietnamese days are formed by "thứ + cardinal", with two important irregulars: WEDNESDAY = "thứ TƯ" (NOT thứ bốn — even when the number 4 is written, you spell "tư"); and SUNDAY = "chủ nhật" (NOT thứ một / *thứ nhất — Sunday is the exception that breaks the pattern). The week starts on Monday in Vietnamese reckoning.
Ngày trong tuần = thứ + số đếm. Hai trường hợp đặc biệt: WEDNESDAY = "thứ TƯ" (không thứ bốn); SUNDAY = "chủ nhật" (không thứ một). Tuần bắt đầu từ thứ hai.
