weekly market
A market that regularly takes place outdoors on certain days of the week and where mainly fresh, often regional foods such as fruit, vegetables, meat, and cheese are sold.
Am Samstag gehen wir immer auf den Wochenmarkt, um frisches Gemüse für die Woche zu kaufen.
On Saturdays, we always go to the weekly market to buy fresh vegetables for the week.
This word is a clear example of a German compound word: it consists of 'Woche' (week) and 'Markt' (market). A 'Wochenmarkt' (weekly market) is therefore literally a market that takes place weekly.
Auf dem Wochenmarkt gibt es die besten regionalen Produkte.
The weekly market has the best regional products.
For 'Wochenmarkt' (weekly market), the preposition 'auf' is usually used. You go 'auf den Markt' (to the market; accusative for direction) and buy something 'auf dem Markt' (at the market; dative for location).
Lass uns am Samstag auf den Wochenmarkt gehen.
Let's go to the weekly market on Saturday.
Typical activities are 'über den Wochenmarkt bummeln' (to stroll around the weekly market) or 'auf dem Wochenmarkt einkaufen' (to shop at the weekly market). People often buy 'frisches Obst und Gemüse' (fresh fruit and vegetables), 'regionale Spezialitäten' (regional specialties), or 'Blumen' (flowers) there.
