QUÉ SIGNIFICA DÍA EN ESPAÑOL

día

Día

Se denomina día al lapso que tarda la Tierra desde que el sol está en el punto más alto sobre el horizonte hasta que vuelve a estarlo. Se trata de una forma de medir el tiempo —la primera que tuvo el hombre— aunque el desarrollo de la Astronomía ha mostrado que, dependiendo de la referencia que se use para medir un giro, se trata de tiempo solar o de tiempo sidéreo —el primero toma como referencia al Sol y el segundo toma como referencia a las estrellas—. En caso que no se acompañe el término "día" con otro vocablo, debe entenderse como día solar medio, base del tiempo civil, que se divide en 24 horas, de 60 minutos, de 60 segundos, y dura, por tanto, 86.400 segundos...

definición de día en el diccionario español

La primera definición de día en el diccionario de la real academia de la lengua española es tiempo que la Tierra emplea en dar una vuelta alrededor de su eje; equivale a 24 horas. Otro significado de día en el diccionario es tiempo en que el Sol está sobre el horizonte. Día es también luz del día.

Los refranes recogen el saber popular.

Los primeros refranes escritos se remontan a la Edad Media y versan sobre todo lo cotidiano (trabajos del campo, la iglesia, los hombres, mujeres, etc…).

Miguel de Cervantes, en Don Quijote de la Mancha escribe: "los refranes son sentencias breves, sacadas de la experiencia y especulación de nuestros antiguos ancianos". Seguirá diciendo Don Quijote sobre la utilidad de los refranes: "cualquiera de los que has dicho [, Sancho,] basta para dar a entender tu pensamiento" (Segunda parte, capítulo XVII).
