While English uses Sunday as the first day of the week, other languages and cultures have different starting points. Here are some examples:
* Most of Europe: Uses Monday as the first day of the week.
* Israel: Uses Sunday as the first day of the week, like English.
* Some Islamic countries: Use Friday as the first day of the week.
* China: Uses Monday as the first day of the week.
So, the "beginning" of the week can vary across different cultures, even if the names of the days themselves are translated.
It's important to be mindful of these differences when communicating across cultures, especially when scheduling meetings or discussing deadlines!
