How to Say “Thursday” in Creole (Haitian Creole)

By •
jedi
noun, Haitian Creole
In Haitian Creole, Thursday is jedi. It comes from French jeudi.
To say "on Thursday" just use the day: Jedi nou gen reyinyon means "On Thursday we have a meeting".
Meaning: fifth day of the week (noun)

Is it said differently in some regions?

The other days are lendi, madi, mèkredi, vandredi, samdi and dimanch.

How do you pronounce it?

Say jedi as "zhe-DEE" with a soft "zh" at the start, like the "s" in "measure".

Did you know?

  • The ending di in the weekday names (lendi, madi, jedi) is from French dies, Latin for "day".

    On Thursday I do not work.
  • N a wè jedi.
    See you Thursday.
  • Jedi pwochen se jou ferye.
    Next Thursday is a holiday.
