When To Use

What does weekdays mean?

Weekdays is an adverb that means on the days from Monday through Friday.Each of these days is considered a weekday—a day that is not a weekend day (Saturday or Sunday).The word week most commonly refers to any period of seven consecutive days, or to the seven-day period on the calendar that begins on Sunday and ends on Saturday. However, in weekdays, it refers to the five-day period that’s often considered the workweek or school week. The standard workweek is from Monday through Friday, though working schedules vary widely.For this reason, weekdays is typically used to distinguish things that happen during the workweek from those that happen on the weekend. It’s especially used in the context of business hours and working schedules. The word weekends can be used as an adverb in the same way.Example: We’re open weekdays from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., but we’re closed weekends.
