nädalad

Nädalad is the Estonian plural form of nädal, meaning "weeks." It denotes multiple seven-day periods used in everyday timekeeping, scheduling and calendar systems. In Estonian usage, the week is typically considered to run from Monday (esmaspäev) to Sunday (pühapäev), and week numbers are commonly used in business and planning contexts in line with international practice.

The word nädala/tüüpilised väljendid appear in a variety of temporal expressions, such as "järgnevad nädalad" (the following weeks) or "mitu nädalat" (several weeks), and it functions in both casual speech and formal writing when referring to spans of time. Estonian weekdays are esmaspäev (Monday), teisipäev (Tuesday), kolmapäev (Wednesday), neljapäev (Thursday), reede (Friday), laupäev (Saturday) and pühapäev (Sunday).

Nädalad are used to organize schedules in education, business, media and public administration. Phrases referring to weeks may indicate recurring events (nädalane = weekly) or be part of compound terms such as nädalavahetus (weekend). The concept aligns with international calendar conventions, and in contexts like project planning or public health reporting, weekly aggregates and week numbers help summarize activity over uniform seven-day intervals.
