Pada = on

If monday is senin why do we put hari as well? Is it suppose to be "the day of monday?" Could one just say senin?

[Origin5world5_]

I wonder this as well. Since the names of the week come from Arabic, and in Arabic they also say "the day of Monday" (correcter: "the second day" since Sunday is One), but they let the "day" fall regularly and just say "I will go to the market the Second (al-isnin)."

Its weird when u only say, "Senin" in Indonesia

If you have learnt Japanese/Korean/Chinese, "hari"/日/일 is one of the counters in Bahasa Indonesia. Counters seem to be a very common thing in the grammar of Asian languages, though it is not so common in European languages.

Why isnt 'pada hari Senin' doesnt count?

[RoninZA]

When doing the word selection "pada" is not available to select.

[TonyBerjaya]

The "di" keeps appear in front of hari. Which I think is incorrect, it should be "pada" in front of hari.
