El fin de semana.

The weekend.

Referring to Saturday and Sunday.

🌍

문화적 배경

The weekend often involves 'el vermut' on Sunday mornings—a social gathering for drinks and olives before a late lunch. The 'asado' (barbecue) is the centerpiece of the weekend, usually held on Sundays with extended family. It's very common to use 'el fin' instead of the full phrase. Sunday evenings are often spent in the 'zócalo' (main square). Long weekends are very frequent due to many public holidays being moved to Mondays, known as 'puentes'.

💡

Drop the 'en'

Always remember: 'El fin de semana' = 'On the weekend'. Never say 'En el fin de semana'.

🎯

Use 'Finde' for friends

If you want to sound like a native in Spain, use 'finde'. It immediately makes you sound more casual and fluent.
