Questions & Answers about Ogni sabato passo il mocio sul pavimento del soggiorno.

Why is it ogni sabato and not ogni sabati?

Because ogni is followed by a singular noun in Italian.

• ogni sabato = every Saturday
• not ogni sabati

This is different from English, where every can also be followed by a singular noun, so the pattern is actually similar.

Italian can also say:

• tutti i sabati = every Saturday / on Saturdays

Both are correct, but ogni sabato is very common and concise.

Why is there no article before sabato?

With ogni, you normally do not use an article.

So you say:

• ogni sabato
• ogni giorno
• ogni settimana

not:

• ogni il sabato

The word ogni already works like every, so no extra article is needed.
