Usage tips
Compound word
The word is a simple compound made up of the weekday 'Dienstag' (Tuesday) and the time of day 'Abend' (evening). All evenings of the week are formed this way, e.g. 'Montagabend' (Monday evening), 'Mittwochabend' (Wednesday evening).
EXAMPLE
Der Film läuft am Dienstagabend im Fernsehen.
The film is on TV on Tuesday evening.
Typical preposition
To indicate a point in time, the preposition 'am' is almost always used; it is a contraction of 'an dem'. The question for this is 'Wann?' (When?).
EXAMPLE
Wir treffen uns am Dienstagabend zum Essen.
We are meeting for dinner on Tuesday evening.
Adverbial use
The word can also stand in the accusative without a preposition to express regularity. It then answers the question 'Wann?' (When?) in the sense of 'Wie oft?' (How often?).
EXAMPLE
Jeden Dienstagabend spiele ich Tennis.
Every Tuesday evening I play tennis.
