mehrtägiger

Mehr­tägiger is a German adjective that designates something that lasts more than one day. It describes periods, trips, events or stays that extend over several days. The form is used attributively before a noun, for example eine mehrtägige Reise, ein mehrtägiger Aufenthalt oder eine mehrtägige Veranstaltung. It can also be used predicatively: Die Reise ist mehrtägig.

Etymology and orthography: The word combines mehr ('more' or 'many') and tägig from Tag, with the suffix -ig that forms adjectives. In standard German it is written as one word: mehrtägig. Inflected forms include mehrtägigen, mehrtägiger, mehrtägiges, mehrtägige, depending on gender and case. Examples: der mehrtägige Aufenthalt; die mehrtägige Reise; das mehrtägige Event; die mehrtägigen Reisen.

Usage notes: The term is common in travel, tourism, business scheduling and event planning, where the duration spans several days. It contrasts with ein- oder eintägig, meaning one-day or single-day. In English, mehrtägig is typically translated as multi-day or several-day to describe activities, programs or accommodations lasting more than a single day.
