すいよう
noun
Wednesday (short form)
time-day-of-week
1. Wednesday; Wed.
The clipped form of 水曜日(すいようび), used in schedules, timetables, and casual speech where the word is already understood to name a day of the week.
水曜(すいよう)定休日(ていきゅうび)です。
Wednesday is our regular closing day.
We put out the trash every Wednesday.
来週(らいしゅう)水曜(すいよう)なら時間(じかん)()そうです。
It looks like I can make time next Wednesday.

Shortened from 水曜日(すいようび) by dropping (). The full form is the default in careful speech and writing; the short form appears where space is tight or the context is obvious.

Common collocations

Usage

All seven days clip the same way (月曜(げつよう), 火曜(かよう), 木曜(もくよう), 金曜(きんよう), 土曜(どよう), 日曜(にちよう)). Many shops and museums take their 定休日(ていきゅうび) on a Wednesday, so the word turns up often on signs and websites.
