Tips to remember the Russian word 'вторник'
– The word 'вторник' shares the root "втор" with the number "второй," which means "second" in Russian. This can help you remember that вторник is the second day of the workweek (assuming the week starts on Monday).
– You can also think of "вторник" as "tornado Tuesday," an odd but catchy mnemonic.

Explanations
– In Russian culture, дни недели (days of the week) are a fundamental part of the language, and each weekday name carries historical connotations. 'Вторник' simply refers to the second day after Monday, a notion instilled from early on in schooling.

Other words that mean the same thing
– Секондник (not commonly used, more of a playful slang combining "second" and "ник" to signify the second day, i.e., 'Tuesday').
