Questions & Answers about U subotu planiramo izlet i piknik.

Why is it u subotu, not na subotu or just subota?

In Serbian, u + accusative is the normal way to say on with days of the week:

• u subotu = on Saturday
• u ponedeljak = on Monday
• u nedelju = on Sunday

So u subotu is the standard expression here.

Using na subotu would not sound natural in this meaning. And just subota by itself would not work as a normal time expression in this sentence.

Why does subota become subotu?

Because after u in this time expression, Serbian uses the accusative case.

• accusative: subotu

So:

• Subota je lep dan. = Saturday is a nice day.
• U subotu planiramo izlet. = On Saturday we’re planning an outing.

This is a very common pattern with days of the week.
