I thought it was saying 'älg' instead of 'helg' lol :D (The moose is finally here!)

Hey. It says, "Finally it is weekend" is a correct answer. I typed: "Eventually it is weekend". Shouldn't that be correct as well?

'At last it is the weekend' is one of the accepted answers, so that should work.

There's a known bug that makes accepted answers sometimes not be accepted anyway, so if you put exactly that, that was probably what happened. Also, at last was missing in some other combination where I added it, can't remember which one(s?) now.

Because that is not correct English; "finally" is not a noun. The "det" here means "it," not "the," by the way. "Helg" is common gender anyway (an -en word), and in Swedish, we always use the suffixed definite article even when we use the separate one ("den roliga helgen"), and there's no need to use the separate one at all unless there is an adjective or something ("Äntligen har helgen kommit."). So this sentence literally says "Finally is it weekend," which, of course, wouldn't work in English without a little tweaking.
