Questions & Answers about W weekend lubię ćwiczyć w parku.

Why is it “w weekend” and not something like “na weekend” or “w weekendzie”?

In modern colloquial Polish, w weekend is the most common way to say “on/at the weekend”.

• w literally means “in”, but with time expressions it often corresponds to English “on/at”:

  • w poniedziałek – on Monday
  • w maju – in May
  • w weekend – on/at the weekend

• w weekendzie is technically possible but sounds odd/archaic in this meaning of “during the weekend”; people essentially don’t say that in everyday speech.

• na weekend usually means “for the weekend” (as in for the duration of the weekend, often with movement or planning):

  • Jadę nad morze na weekend. – I’m going to the seaside for the weekend.

So for a general, habitual statement like this sentence, w weekend is the natural choice.
