"Tisdag är en vardag."

Translation: Tuesday is a workday.

[sojinjung]

Vardag is translated as "workday," but does it have the same meaning as "weekday" in (American) English? I haven't tried the translation for fear of loosing a heart.

[Arnauti]

Both workday and weekday are accepted. En vardag is every day that is not Saturday, Sunday, or some kind of national holiday.

[shirki]

Actually, "Tuesday is a workday" was not accepted, strangely. I was told the correct answer is "Tuesday is a work day".

[Zeitschleifer]

The same here. Made me a little bit puzzled for a moment

[iBrow.]

"Workday" was accepted for me. Perhaps it was a bug or you made a typo.

[NatalieBoa3]

I am always trying things that I think they could also mean. Don't be afraid of losing a point - mistakes are the fastest way to learn.

Vardag, sound like a dog of Cratos, the god of war. "The dog of war of the god of war"

[mwood611]

Why can't it be school day? I tried that and it was not accepted...

[Arnauti]

We have a better word for that, skoldag.

[SabrinaSmi3]

I would never say 'work day' unless I meant 'a day to do physical work'. I usually say 'business day'.

[lang_man]

Where are you from? Canadians never say business day, we would always use weekday. Even "workday" as one word is odd.

Why is the 'dag' in Tisdag and vardag pronounced differently?

[deactivated user]

Is there a specific difference between weekday and workday? Would arbetsdag be able to translate to weekday as well?

[baconmater]

Lots of things in languages are from tradition, not logic.

[DragonRider1000]

The only workday!?

[deactivated user]

"a day of the week" = vardag.
"a weekday" = vardag
Your translations need a bit of flexibility.

[Arnoud465808]

I find it confusing that "work day" is written with a space, while "workdays" is written without. Or did I remember this incorrectly and is it with a space everywhere?

[DMN2020]

Is 'work day' an Americanism, or just a more literal translation of 'vardag'?
