Learn Dutch: Op zaterdag huren wij de zaal. - On Saturday we rent the hall.

Just like English uses "on" for days of the week, Dutch uses the preposition op. You will use op for all days, such as op maandag (on Monday) or op vrijdag (on Friday).

Why isn't zaterdag capitalized in this sentence?

Unlike English, Dutch does not capitalize days of the week, months, or seasons. They are only capitalized if they appear as the very first word of a sentence.

Why does the sentence say huren wij instead of wij huren?

This is due to the Dutch verb-second rule. Because the time phrase Op zaterdag takes up the first position in the sentence, the verb huren must come in the second position. This pushes the subject wij into the third position.

What is the difference between a zaal and a kamer?

A zaal is a large room or hall, usually meant for public events, meetings, or sports. A standard room in a private house, like a bedroom or living room, is called a kamer.
