"Wij fietsen, rennen en zwemmen elke vrijdag."

Translation: We bike, run and swim every Friday.

[marvincorea]

Triathlon Friday!

[stefichjo]

We run to the swimming bath, we swim and we bike home. ;)

[hdecagny]

Do you steal a bike every friday?

[Nierls]

No, but it's quite possible your bike will be stolen every Friday if you live in Amsterdam

[caboodles]

rennen is not pronounced correctly X(

[royalslayer]

I agree, that is no way to pronounce rennen.

[seeyounextlevel]

why isn't 'we ride bikes' acceptable?

[QUESTION]

Can "vrijdag" be translated as "free day" since it's compounded from vrij (free) and dag (day)?

I remember that when I was an elementary student, I didn't go to the school every Friday instead of Sunday.

[EJMiller3]

Probably not, as the name comes from the Norse goddess Frigg or Freyja

[Nierls]

it's from the germanic pagan godess Freia, free day would be "vrije dag"

[BiljanaMila]

Here elke is used for every.
In a previous sentence "De eenden gaan iedere avond" iedere was used.
I've seen an explanation that ieder/iedere is more applicable for people, and for other instances we should use elk/elke. Does this make sense? And if yes, why was iedere used instead of elke?
Thanks :)

[El2theK]

Some people have a preference of ieder(e) for people and elk(e) for everything else. However that's not a set rule and both can be used in any case.

[BiljanaMila]

So we can't actually know which when to use... ?
Will both of them be correct?

[El2theK]

Both are correct and accepted.

[BiljanaMila]

Thanks ;)
