- The Hindi word दिन is a distant relative of the Russian word 'день' (denʹ), as both trace back to the same ancient root meaning 'to shine'.
- In India, Sunday is often called इतवार (itvaar), a word derived from Persian, rather than the Sanskrit-based रविवार (ravivaar).
- The word सप्ताह contains the root 'sapta', which means 'seven' in Sanskrit, literally making the word 'week' a 'seven-step' period.
