freitags

Freitags is a German time expression used to indicate recurring events that occur on Fridays. It can function as an adverbial phrase meaning “on Fridays” and is commonly used in scheduling, business, and media contexts. The form is derived from Freitag, the weekday named after the old Germanic goddess Freya.

As a compound element, Freitags appears in words such as Freitagsmarkt (Friday market) or Freitagsruhe (rest on Fridays). In standard prose it also appears in genitive constructions like des Freitags to denote “the Friday’s” in contexts such as event schedules, though the more common phrasing for a specific Friday is am Freitag.

Usage notes: Freitags typically refers to a recurring pattern rather than a single date. It is widely understood in German-speaking regions, though some speakers prefer am Freitag for precise dates and jeden Freitag for emphasis on every Friday. The term contrasts with Freitag when used as a calendar day and with Freitage as the plain plural noun for Fridays.
