Questions & Answers about По выходным мы часто ездим за город.

Why is it по выходным, and what case is выходным?

По выходным means on weekends or at weekends.

Here выходным is in the dative plural. After по, Russian often uses the dative in expressions of repeated time:

• по утрам — in the mornings
• по вечерам — in the evenings
• по выходным — on weekends

So this structure suggests something that happens regularly.

Why is выходным plural, not singular?

Because the sentence talks about weekends in general, not one specific weekend.

• по выходным = on weekends / every weekend
• If you meant one particular weekend, you would usually use a different expression, such as в выходные depending on context.

The plural helps show a habitual, repeated action.
