Answer

Depends to people whether they want to use ' Hari Ahad or 'Hari Minggu ' . But people usually use 'Hari Ahad ' if it's necessary while 'Hari Minggu' for not necessary

Answer

I agree with nishi aziz. Hari ahad means "saturday". Hari minggu refers to the "weekends".

Answer

Thanks y'all

Answer

this is what i believe. 'Hari Ahad' means specifically on Sunday. Whilst 'Hari minggu' can be both whether on Saturday or Sunday. For example: Saya akan pulang pada hari minggu nanti. (I'll be back on weekends)

Answer

The name "Ahad" comes from Arabic.  You've probably also noticed that "minggu" also means "week" (so adding "hari" becomes necessary).

I'm not sure of the criteria for usage, but "hari Minggu" is used far more often.
