And tygodniowo was not accepted; that's my point. No need to dislike my comment
In your original comment, you made it appear as if your translation was the only translation. That was why tadjanow explained the other translations.
Just checking: godzin is gen plural because of the number 19 and tygodniu is locative because "per" can be thought of as "in a week or out of a week"
Can you also say "co tydzień?"
So, I posted this four weeks ago, but haven't heard anything. Does anyone know if this is acceptable?
I suspect not. It would translate as "every week", which isn't quite the same. I'll be happy to be corrected if I'm wrong.
Is there a difference between the use of 'w tygodniu' and 'na tydzień' ?
In such a sentence, I don't think there is. Just a grammatical one, similar to "in a week" and "per week".
"co tydzień" has a different meaning. It usually translates to "every week" and it means that something happens regularly, every 7 days (well, more or less 7, I don't think it's such a problem if once it happens on Saturday, and the next week on Friday).
