During the weekday or during the weekdays??

Question

during the weekday or during the weekdays??

do they mean the same thing?

Answer 1

No. "During the weekdays" means Monday through Friday.

"During the weekday" doesn't really make much sense. Instead, say "on a weekday" or "on Friday".

Answer 2

yes ,but also try on a weekday or on weekdays

Answer 3

It is usually on a week day, and during the week.

Answer 4

No they don't

Consider this please.

I take my lunch at MacDonalds during the weekday -infers that I take lunch every weekday at that place.

Now..

I take my lunch at MacDonalds during the weekdays -specifies that I can be seen there at some point during weekdays  but not necessarily on each weekday.

Its a question of frequency related to different time spans
