The German word “Ferien”
posted 3 months ago
I’ve gotten several questions on formspring about the word “Ferien” (vacation; holiday). People were wondering what the singular of “die Ferien” is, since they could only find the plural version.
That’s because “die Ferien” is always plural.
If you want to use it in the singular you will have to add another noun like “der Tag” -> der Ferientag. Only then it’s clear you mean one day of vacation. Other possibilities would be “die Ferienwoche” (vacation week) or “der Feiertag” for “public holiday”.
