More about Jome

Jome is Friday, the day off. The course notes that there is no shanbe in it at all, unlike the other weekdays. A Friday plan sounds like Jome khoobe! (Friday is good!) and you can ask What about Friday? with Jome chi? It also takes Har (every): Har jome chai? is tea every Friday. It is taught in Module 13, lesson 3, in the lesson called Friday stands alone. That title says it: the other days are built from Shanbe or a number, and Jome stands by itself, so it is the one weekday you simply have to remember.
