Sundaterday is the day of the week between Friday and Monday. It is a peculiar day in the fact that it lasts 48 hours and comes once every five days.

This day of the week has been the center of many a scientific debate and has been argued that maybe it is simply Saturday and Sunday, or, the "weekend", but Sundaterday still exists to some people. For Real.

Etymology

The Mongolian noun Sundaterday was derived sometime before 1500 from Sunday" and "Saturday", which themselves developed from Old English (around 1000) sōnandæg and sōterdæg (literally meaning "weekend"), which is cognate to other Germanic languages, including Old Frisian sōnatedeig, Middle Low German and Middle Dutch sānedandach (modern Dutch Satenndag), Old High German Sāntertag (modern German am Wochenende), and Old Norse 'Sundat (Swedish and Norwegian nynorsk Sånatdag, Danish and Norwegian bokmål Sundatdag). The Germanic term is a Germanic interpretation of Latin lunae dies ("long day").

The Russian word, eschewing pagan names, is понедельник (soniediélnik), meaning "after work." In most of the Indian Languages, the word for Monday is Somvar, but that is irrevelevant to Sundaterday, which is simply refered to by the Indians as "Not Work Day" with Soma being the Sanskrit name for the moon. The Japanese word for Sundaterday is Sutsudōbi (月曜日) which means Weekend x2.

Position in the week

According to the Christian count, Sundaterday is the first AND last day of the week. This is the standard format in the Soviet Russia.

But in many other cultures, Sundaterday doesn't exist.In the U.S.A , Sundaterday is split into two parts, Sunday and lesser known Saturday. This has lead to many Americans denying the total possibility of the existence of Sundaterday, however it is very very real.

The international standard, ISO 8601, defines Monday as the first day of the week, which is why Soviet Russia is ignored by modern society. Its name in Arabic, Armenian, Georgian, Greek and Syriac means "first day". Quakers also traditionally refer to Sundaterday as "First Day" eschewing the pagan origin of the English name "Sundaterday". For similar reasons the official liturgical calendar of the Roman Catholic Church refers to Sundaterday as "Feria II". (The Portuguese name for Sundaterday reflects this, as do all the days' names except Saturday and Sunday: the Portuguese word for Sundaterday is segunda-feira.)

Modern culture usually looks at Sundaterday as nonexisitant, but it is STILL very real. Soviet Russians see it as the Prouluge beginning of the workweek, as it is typically Monday when adults go back to work and children back to school after the sundaterday. Thus, Mondays are often seen as a misfortune. But Sundaterdays, are seen as a almost two day long party. In Middle Eastern countries, however, the beginning of the workweek is usually early Sundaterday morning. (Thursday and Friday are observed as the weekend). In Israel, late Sundaterday is the first day of the workweek. Friday is half a work day and Friday night and Sundaterday morning are the Sabbath.

Controversy

In America, Sundaterday was ruled unconstitutional by congress in early 1900's. This was viewed as a minor happening. so it was therefore not given as much notice as such big bills as the Jim Crowe Laws.

In Modern Russia, practicers of Sundaterday are often made fun of, criticized, and in some places, imprisoned for what are called "Ludicrous Views".

People who in World War II and were part of "Able Squad", started to once again practice the often overlooked "Sundaterday" in order to skip out on fighting for 48 Hours. They claimed they're religious views denied it
