What are Fortnight and Week

A fortnight is a unit of time that refers to a period of two weeks, or precisely 14 days. Historically used in many parts of the world, the term derives from the Old English 'feowertyne niht', meaning 'fourteen nights'. Fortnights are still commonly used in the UK and other countries to discuss periods of time in a more traditional context.

A week is a time unit equal to seven days. It is the standard time period used for cycles of rest days in most parts of the world, mostly alongside—but not strictly part of—the Gregorian calendar. The seven-day week is recognized worldwide, and it influences our schedules, business cycles, and many aspects of daily life.
