what do you concider 'anniversary'

I thought anniversary meant yearly

not monthly…

or worse,

WEEKLY.

does anyone else agree with me? please share your thoughts.

Answer #1

Definition - apparently can mean either:

Main Entry: an·ni·ver·sa·ry
Pronunciation: \ˌa-nə-ˈvərs-rē, -ˈvər-sə-\ Function: noun Inflected Form(s): plural an·ni·ver·sa·ries Etymology: Middle English anniversarie, from Medieval Latin anniversarium, from Latin, neuter of anniversarius returning annually, from annus year + versus, past participle of vertere to turn — more at annual, worth Date: 13th century 1: the annual recurrence of a date marking a notable event; broadly : a date that follows such an event by a specified period of time measured in units other than years
2: the celebration of an anniversary

Answer #2

No… the definition provided by amblessed above specifically means per year.

“annus” comes from the Latin word for “year”.

There are words for specific anniversary durations, as well.

Annual - 1 year Biennial - 2 years Triennial - 3 years Quadrennial - 4 years Quinquennial - 5 years Sexennial - 6 years Septennial - 7 years Octennial - 8 years Novennial - 9 years Decennial - 10 years Undecennial - 11 years Duodecennial - 12 years Tredecennial - 13 years Quattuordecennial - 14 years Vigintennial or vicennial - 20 years Semicentennial or quinquagenary - 50 years Centennial - 100 years Sesquicentennial - 150 years Bicentennial - 200 years Quincentennial - 500 years Millenial - 1000 years

But they’re ALL based on years. Nothing of a shorter measure.

Answer #3

honestly I think if your a teen one month is ok to atleast say good for us but six months you have to go to dinner or something and then the yearly things you need to celebrate but consistently doing something monthly is ridiculous haha

Answer #4

Yes, anniversary usually goes along with annually, meaning the celebration of something yearly. So yeah, I’d consider it yearly… I don’t know who told you weekly or monthly but they’re horribly mistaken.

Answer #5

every year is to celebrate

every month / week is just because their affarid of what they mite lose

when ur a teen like 14yrs yh after a few months is good beause when your young most people olny stay 2geva for like 4 months

lol

Answer #6

Ok well.. as the relationship progresses yearly is normal. I know that in the begnning of our relationship we used to say to remind each other when it’s our 3 week anniversary and so on because this new relationship for us was exciting. Then we celebrated a month and after that six months… but now that we have been going out for more than a year, it’s a yearly thing for sure. So i think in the beginning stages because of all the excitement you will want to count the weeks and months and so on but as time progresses it will subside to purely yearly anniversaries.

Answer #9

Well according to that definition, an anniversary can be celebrated every week. But that get a little old.

Here’s how i feel::

1 month - yeah yeah, its nice. like “happy one month” and thats it, like dont go celebrate. 6 months - yeah kinda important. maybe a day with you and your signifigant other. whatever.

then yearly.

it really depends on the person.

Answer #10

well when your young you usually don’t stay together for a year so like month is okay but week, omg when I hear someone say “weekaversary” I want to slap them.

Answer #11

yea i feel you you shopuld only celebrate every year cuz every month or week is desperate

Answer #12

offcourse its yearly

Answer #13

um well it depends in what context ur using the word “anniversary” If it was in a relationship I would go with the 1st month then 6months then a year n go half yearly from that. If it was a death go yearly and if it was just a general situation as in liking someone weeky if you want lol im kidding c ya
