Why is it 'di hari sabtu'and not 'pada hari sabtu'? I'm unsure when to use which term.

[rizki202]

Both actually have the same meaning, but i think "pada" is more of a formal form.

[Origin5world5_]

Hari Sabtu is very recognisable to an Arab, in Arabic we name Saturday 'yawm sabt' (=the day of sabt= the day of the Jewish Sabbath)

[kuyaC]

Shouldn't it be "terbuka"? And how would you say "Banks don't open (the verb) on Saturdays?

[lilvzy]

"terbuka" means "opened"

[TonyBerjaya]

Perhaps "pada hari Sabtu" is more appropriate than "di hari Sabtu"?
Normally "pada" is used for Day/Date/Time.

I put, "The bank did not open on Saturdays." It was counted as wrong. Based on the sentence we were given, why was my answer wrong?

[Karthik03121811]

The were expecting "banks" as in not singular. Your answer shd be valid but in native, bank seems to mean single or many.

[hectorlqr]

From Wiktionary:

From Malay Sabtu, from Classical Malay Sabtu (“Saturday”), from Arabic السَبْت‎ (as-sabt).

[hectorlqr]

The Arabic in turn most likely comes from the Hebrew שבת shabbat (i.e. The Sabbath).

[Tongincheek]

Why is "Bank is not open on Saturday." incorrect? I am saying exactly the right thing. Generalising and saying that all saturdays all banks are not open is simply incorrect
