12月31日大みそかには、お寺で鐘（かね）ついて、人の心にある悪い気持ちを追い出しました（おいだす remove）。新年の前の日だからです。また、やりましたよ。今度は2月3日。世の中にある悪いモノ、例えばコロナとか、そういうものを、豆（まめ  bean）をまいて、家から追い出しました。2月4日から「春」だからです。日本人、ほんとうにきれい好きです。悪いモノ＝鬼（おに）を追い出す、この行事を「節分 せつぶん」と言います。でもさ、鬼も追い出されたままではないようです。最近はビジネスしてるみたい！そんなお話を少し。

第47話　もしもし赤鬼です

"Senin, Selasa, Rabu, Kamis, Jumat, Sabtu, Minggu, itu nama-nama hari"

Ketika saya kecil, saya diajarkan lagu ini untuk mengingat nama-nama hari. 
Apa kalian juga memiliki cara unik untuk mengingatnya?
Sejujurnya, ada satu hari yang saya tunggu-tunggu setiap minggu. 
Kalian bisa menebaknya? Ya, benar, hari Jumat!
Setiap kali hari Jumat datang, saya merasa senang karena akan ada dua hari libur, 
Sabtu dan Minggu, untuk bersantai.
Omong-omong, tahukah kalian asal-usul nama-nama hari di Indonesia? 
Mari kita bahas satu per satu!

Pertama, Minggu. 
Nama ini diambil dari Bahasa Spanyol dan Portugis, "Domingo", yang berarti "hari Tuhan". 
Juga, ada pengaruh dari Bahasa Arab "Al-ahad", yang juga berarti "satu", karena merupakan hari pertama dalam seminggu. 

Kemudian, Senin. Diadaptasi dari Bahasa Arab "Itsnaani", yang berarti "dua".

Selasa, Rabu, dan Kamis, semuanya berasal dari Bahasa Arab juga, yang berarti "tiga", "empat", dan "lima" secara berurutan.

Bagaimana dengan Jumat? 
Kata "Jumat" diambil dari Bahasa Arab "Jama'a", yang artinya "berkumpul". Di hari ini, umat Islam berkumpul untuk melakukan sholat Jumat di masjid. Kalian sadar tentang hal ini?

Dan Sabtu, hari terakhir dalam seminggu. "Sabtu" berasal dari Bahasa Arab "alsabt" yang berarti "tujuh", serta dari Bahasa Ibrani "sabat", yang artinya "berhenti bekerja". 

Setelah kalian tahu lebih banyak tentang asal-usul nama hari, sekarang apa kalian punya hari favorit lain? 
Selamat menjalani hari ini ya! ^^

Akhir minggu

Asal-usul nama-nama hari
