Days of the week in Quechua: you will note that the word p\u2019unchay or p\u2019unchaw<\/strong> refers to day<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/td> Intichay p\u2019unchay \/ Intichay p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>
Monday<\/td>Killachay p\u2019unchay \/ Killachay p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>
Tuesday<\/td>Antichay p\u2019unchay \/ Antichay p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>
Wednesday<\/td>Quyllurchay p\u2019unchay \/ Quyllurchay p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>

In a short explanation, each day of the week has the following reference:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sun<\/td>Inti<\/td><\/tr>
Moon<\/td>Killa<\/td><\/tr>
Andean Area<\/td>Anti<\/td><\/tr>
Star<\/td>Qoyllur<\/td><\/tr>

Star<\/td>Ch\u2019aska<\/td><\/tr>
Rainbow<\/td>K\u2019uychi<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

In the same way, it is important to know that some Quechua towns, such as Puca Puca and Qquehuar - en the regions of Cusco and Apur\u00edmac whose variant is applied in this educational material-, the days of the week are referenced in the following way:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sunday<\/td>Dumingu p\u2019unchay \/ Dumingu p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>
Monday<\/td>Lunis p\u2019unchay \/ Lunis p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>
Tuesday<\/td>Martis p\u2019unchay \/ Martis p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>
Wednesday<\/td>Mirculis p\u2019unchay \/ Mirculis p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>

Saturday<\/td>Sawado p\u2019unchay \/ Sawado p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Now we will learn to use the main expressions that will help up situate ourselves in a specific time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today<\/td>Kunan p\u2019unchay \/ Kunan p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>
Tomorrow<\/td>Paqarin p\u2019unchay \/ Paqarin p\u2019unchaw<\/td><\/tr>

Next, here are some sentences with examples of main activities during the year, we invite you to read them:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
