Questions & Answers about W weekend lubię czytać godzinami.

Why is it w weekend and not something like w weekendzie?

• With time expressions, w usually takes the accusative case:
  
  • w sobotę (on Saturday), w poniedziałek (on Monday), w weekend (on/at the weekend).
• weekend is a masculine inanimate noun; its nominative and accusative singular are the same (weekend), so you don’t see a change in form.
• You can hear w weekendzie in colloquial speech, but w weekend is more standard and more common in the meaning “on the weekend / at the weekend”.

What case is weekend in here, and why?

• It’s in the accusative singular.
• Preposition w can govern either locative (for “in, inside”) or accusative (often for time expressions: when something happens).
• In w weekend we are talking about when you like to read, so Polish uses w + accusative.

Why is there no word for the in w weekend even though English has “on the weekend”?
