Russian weekend?
I have been listening to CD's to help learn the language, and I recently heard two expressions, на эти выходние and перед выходнини to mean "this weekend" and "before the weekend." The CD's come with no written material, and I am unable to find the words in my dictionary. Can someone tell me if I have spelled them correctly? Also, are these relatively new expressions? Thanks in advance for your answers.

Question

Answer

hello sudsey! :) u spelled them almost correctly. as for the first phrase "this weekend", u can use two variants, depending on the context. на этих выходных: e.g. this weekend i want to visit my sister (на этих выходных я хочу навестить сестру); на эти выходные: e.g. on this weekend i have other plans (на эти выходные у меня другие планы). and the second phrase "перед выходными".

Answer

"В эти выходные" or "На эти выходные" (this weekend)
"Перед выходными" (before the weekend)
These phrases aren't new.

Answer

коллеги из россии дали исчерпывающий ответ, добавить категорически нечего, кроме того, что "в эти выходные" страна работала
