Which day of the week.

How it's used
Use this phrase specifically to ask about the day of the week, rather than a specific calendar date. It functions as a question word that replaces the day, so the answer will typically be a day like 星期一 or 星期日. It is very common to place it before the verb in a sentence to specify the timing of an action.
Examples
Which day of the week are you going on your trip?
I would like to ask, which day of the week are you closed?

Common mistake
Avoid using this to ask for a date, such as the 15th of the month, as it only refers to the seven-day cycle. For dates, use 幾號 instead.
