A period of seven days.
Contexto cultural
The term 'хоног' reflects the importance of the overnight stay in nomadic life. Distances were often measured by how many 'nights' it took to travel. In Ulaanbaatar, the 'week' follows a standard Monday-Friday work schedule, but Saturday is often called 'Half-Good Day' (Хагас сайн өдөр) and Sunday 'Full-Good Day' (Бүтэн сайн өдөр). The number seven (Долоо) is sacred. It appears in many proverbs and is associated with the stars that guide travelers. While the 7-day week is standard, many Mongolians still check the lunar calendar for 'good' and 'bad' days within the week for activities like getting a haircut or starting a journey.

No, 'Долоо' just means the number seven. You must include 'хоног' to mean a week.
'Хоног' is a 24-hour period (day + night). 'Өдөр' is just the daytime or a specific date.
Use the genitive form: 'Долоо хоногийн'. For example, 'Долоо хоногийн сэтгүүл' (Weekly magazine).
