Significado
A standard day for professional duties.
Contexto cultural
The 6-day work week is still common in public schools and some government offices, meaning Saturday is often an 'ish kuni'. During the two major holidays, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, the government often reshuffles 'ish kunlari' to create a long weekend, making a Sunday a workday in exchange for a weekday off. Tea culture is inseparable from the 'ish kuni'. Work often stops for 'choy tanaffusi' (tea break). Hospitality extends to the workday. If you have a business meeting on an 'ish kuni', it's culturally expected to offer or be offered lunch (usually Palov).
The Magic '-i'
Never forget the '-i' at the end. Without it, the phrase is grammatically incomplete in Uzbek.
Saturday Surprise
In Uzbekistan, always double-check if Saturday is an 'ish kuni' for the person you are meeting!
