Learn Dutch: Ik wandel zaterdag in de stad. - I walk in the city on Saturday.

In Dutch, we usually put the time (zaterdag) before the place (in de stad). This is a very important word order rule: Time before Place! In English, we often do the opposite ("in the city on Saturday"), so watch out for this difference.

Why is there no word for "on" before zaterdag?

In Dutch, you can just say the day of the week to mean "on" that day. You could say op zaterdag, which is also correct, but dropping the op is very common and sounds completely natural.

Why isn't zaterdag capitalized?

Unlike English, Dutch does not capitalize days of the week, months, or seasons. The only time you would capitalize zaterdag is if it were the very first word of the sentence.

Can I start the sentence with zaterdag instead?

Yes, you can! But remember that Dutch uses a rule called inversion. If you put a time word first for emphasis, the verb must stay in the second position, and the subject gets pushed after it. The sentence would become: Zaterdag wandel ik in de stad.
