Questions & Answers about Vikendom sjedimo u dvorištu i mirno pijemo kavu.

Why is it vikendom and not za vikend or preko vikenda?

All three exist, but the nuance is different:

• vikendom = on weekends (habitually, as a routine)

  • Used for something that usually happens every weekend.
  • Example: Vikendom sjedimo u dvorištu. = We (tend to) sit in the yard on weekends.

• za vikend = at/over the weekend (this/that weekend, or in general)

  • Often refers to one specific weekend (this coming weekend, last weekend), or a looser “over the weekend” idea.

• preko vikenda = over the weekend / during the weekend

  • Focuses more on the time span, similar to “during the weekend”.

In this sentence, vikendom is best because the action is clearly a habit.

What case is vikendom, and why is that case used to mean “on weekends”?
