平日 – heijitsu, 週末 – shuumatsu
Written by admin on Jan 15th, 2011 | Filed under: Words
平日--へいじつ-- weekday
週末 --しゅうまつ-- weekend
A 'weekend' is pretty obvious: kanji for 'week' and 'end', while a 'weekday' is open for more interesting interpretations
平 --ひら; ヒラ-- 1. something broad and flat; 2. common; ordinary;
Thus, a 'weekday' becomes 'an ordinary day' or if you prefer 'a flat day'.
