Questions & Answers about W weekend lubię spacerować po centrum, zwłaszcza wieczorem.
Both forms exist in Polish, but they are used differently:
w weekend – this is the most common, natural way to say "on/at the weekend" in everyday Polish.
- Grammatically it’s accusative, used as an adverbial expression of time (similar to w przyszły piątek, w poniedziałek).
w weekendzie – this form is possible but:
- it sounds less natural in everyday speech in many contexts,
- it tends to be used more when you are talking about a specific weekend as a period of time and describing events inside it, e.g.:
- W tym weekendzie było bardzo zimno. (less common; many speakers would still prefer w ten weekend or w weekend)
For you as a learner, it's safest to use:
- w weekend = "on/at the weekend"
- w weekendy / w weekendy zwykle... = "on weekends / at weekends" (habitually)
In Polish, when you talk about liking an activity, you normally use:
lubić + infinitive
So:
- Lubię spacerować. – I like walking (as an activity).
