Meaning: week

Example sentences

  • DieseWochehabeichvielzutun.

    I have a lot to do this week.

  • NächsteWochefahrenwirnachBerlin.

    Next week we're going to Berlin.

Grammar note

“Die Woche” is feminine. “This week” and “next week” drop the preposition entirely: “diese Woche”, “nächste Woche” — no “in” needed, unlike many other time expressions.

Common mistake

Don't add “in” before “diese Woche”/“nächste Woche” — German uses the bare accusative time phrase, not “in dieser Woche” for simple statements like “this week I'm busy”.
