Sonntagsspaziergang

== German == === Etymology === From Sonntag (“Sunday”) +‎ -s- +‎ Spaziergang (“walk”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈzɔntaːksʃpaˌt͡siːɐ̯ɡaŋ/ === Noun === Sonntagsspaziergang m (strong, genitive Sonntagsspazierganges or Sonntagsspaziergangs, plural Sonntagsspaziergänge) A recreational walk on a Sunday. Synonym: sonntäglicher Spaziergang (by extension) A relaxing walk on any day. ==== Usage notes ==== Sonntagsspaziergang usually means a walk on a Sunday. In Germany/Austria/Switzerland, most people have the fewest obligations on a Sunday (no work, no school). If the speaker is not talking about any particular Sunday, it could mean a relaxing walk on any day both the speaker and recipient are the least busy. This includes Sunday, but could mean upcoming statutory holidays and possibly Saturdays, too. Once a date for a relaxing walk on any day has been picked, it is usually not referred to as Sonntagsspaziergang anymore (except if it is indeed on a Sunday). ==== Hypernyms ==== Spaziergang ==== Related terms ==== Sonntagsausflug
