saturday

Saturday is the day between Friday and Sunday.In much of North and South America, where most countries consider the calendar week to begin on Sunday, Saturday is the seventh and final day of the week. In other places, including in much of Europe and Asia, the week is considered to begin on Monday, making Saturday the sixth day of the week. In parts of the Middle East and other places, the week is considered to begin on Saturday.Regardless of when the week officially begins, in many places Saturday is considered one of the two days that make up the weekend, during which many people do not work. In contrast, the other five days, Monday through Friday, are considered weekdays, which make up the workweek. In this sense, Saturday is not considered a weekday but a weekend day.Many people’s favorite day is Saturday because it’s the official start of the weekend, with another weekend day ahead of it. Like the weekend itself, Saturday is associated with rest, relaxation, and freedom from responsibility—along with the free time to do whatever one wants.In Judaism, Saturday is Shabbat, a day of rest and religious observance.The word Saturdays can be used as an adverb meaning every Saturday or on Saturdays, as in I work Saturdays or The shop is only open Saturdays. To indicate the general time of day during which something will happen on a Saturday, the word can be followed by the general time, as in Saturday morning, Saturday afternoon, Saturday evening, and Saturday night.Example: I love a Saturday without plans, when I can do whatever I want all day.
