That sounds awfully like a month, so I'd do it like 'Winter solstice will be on day 21 of the week this year'

I would use what ever the shortest day of the year is. That is what Winter Solstice is. Apply your conpeople's system to figure it out.

Swahili:

Perhaps not surprisingly for an equatorial language, there is no word for solstice. There also isn't really a dedicated superlative - you just basically say "more than all".

Mwaka huu, siku iliyo na kipindi kifupi zaidi cha nuru ya mchana kuliko siku zote mwakani itakuwa Jumanne.
