“Sa journée” and “Son jour”
“sa journée” and “son jour” both mean “his/her day”, but they’re not interchangeable. The difference is about perspective and focus
1. “Sa journée” = the day as an experience (how it went)
→ It refers to the content or duration of the day — what happened during it.
It’s subjective, emotional, and often used when describing or evaluating the day.
Examples :
-
Sa journée a été longue. → His/her day was long.
-
Comment s’est passée ta journée ? → How was your day?
-
J’espère que ta journée s’est bien passée. → I hope your day went well.
“Journée” emphasizes what you did or how it felt.
2. “Son jour” = the day as a date or point in time
→ It refers to a specific day (objective), often in relation to an event or schedule.
Examples :
-
Le jour de son mariage. → The day of his/her wedding.
-
C’est son jour de chance ! → It’s his/her lucky day!
-
Un jour, il comprendra. → One day, he will understand.
“Jour” emphasizes the calendar day, not the experience.
Quick comparison:
| Expression | Meaning | Focus |
|---|---|---|
| sa journée | his/her day (how it went) | lived experience |
| son jour | his/her day (specific event/date) | time or moment |
In short:
-
Use journée when you talk about how the day went.
-
Use jour when you talk about which day it was.
