Questions & Answers about W weekend nie pracuję.
Why is it w weekend and not na weekend?
- w weekend = when something happens (time frame): W weekend nie pracuję = I don’t work at/on the weekend.
- na weekend = for the weekend (purpose/duration/target): Jadę na weekend do Krakowa = I’m going to Kraków for the weekend. Using na weekend with verbs like “work” (e.g., Na weekend nie pracuję) sounds odd; use w weekend for happening during that time.
What case is weekend in after w here?
Accusative singular. With time expressions like days of the week, Polish often uses w + accusative (e.g., w poniedziałek). For inanimate masculine nouns, nominative and accusative look the same, so it stays weekend.
Is w weekendzie ever correct?
You may hear it, but standard modern usage is w weekend. W weekendzie (locative) is rare and often marked as nonstandard or old-fashioned. Prefer w weekend.
Should it be w or we before weekend?
