What does בסוף השבוע mean in this sentence?
Literally, בסוף השבוע means at the end of the week:
- ב־ = in / at / on
- סוף = end
- השבוע = the week
In natural Hebrew, this phrase often means on the weekend or at the weekend. In this sentence, it is the time expression: it tells you when we like to go for a walk or hike.
Why is it השבוע and not just שבוע?
Because the phrase is סוף השבוע = the end of the week.
Hebrew often makes expressions like this with two nouns:
- סוף = end of
- השבוע = the week
When the second noun is definite, the whole phrase becomes definite. So סוף השבוע is the end of the week, not just an end of a week.
Does בסוף השבוע mean one specific weekend, or weekends in general?
