Etymology
Romanian borrowed "weekend" directly from English in the 20th century, as part of a broad wave of English loanwords tied to Western media and lifestyle. The word kept its English spelling but took on Romanian grammar: it declines as a neuter noun and forms its plural with the native suffix "-uri." A native alternative, "sfârșit de săptămână," exists but is far less common in everyday speech.
