Sunday morning
The time on the morning of a Sunday, often associated with quiet, free time, or special rituals such as a late breakfast.
Wir genießen den ruhigen Sonntagmorgen immer mit frischen Brötchen und der Zeitung.
We always enjoy the quiet Sunday morning with fresh rolls and the newspaper.
The word is simply made up of 'Sonntag' (Sunday) and 'Morgen' (morning). So it literally refers to the morning of a Sunday.
Ein typischer deutscher Sonntagmorgen beginnt oft mit einem langen Frühstück.
A typical German Sunday morning often begins with a long breakfast.
To describe an action at this point in time, you use the preposition 'an' with the dative, which merges into 'am': 'am Sonntagmorgen' (on Sunday morning).
Am Sonntagmorgen gehe ich gerne im Park spazieren.
On Sunday morning, I like to go for a walk in the park.
The word is often associated with quiet and free time. Typical verbs are 'genießen' (to enjoy), 'ausschlafen' (to sleep in), or 'gemütlich frühstücken' (to have a leisurely breakfast).
Für viele ist der Sonntagmorgen die schönste Zeit der Woche, um auszuschlafen.
For many people, Sunday morning is the best time of the week to sleep in.
Sunday evening
'der Sonntagabend' and 'der Sonntagmorgen' both refer to a time on a Sunday. The difference is the part of the day: 'der Sonntagmorgen' is the early part of Sunday, often associated with breakfast, quiet, or free time. 'der Sonntagabend' is the late part at the end of Sunday, often shortly before the start of the new week. So the words are clear opposites in terms of time: in the morning, the Sunday day begins; in the evening, it comes to an end.
