✦Grammar Breakdown

Demonstrative Determiner
"Diese" points to a specific time period (this week) and agrees in gender and case with "Woche" (feminine, nominative).
Temporal Noun
"Woche" is a feminine noun; when used with "diese" it stays in the nominative because it is the subject of the sentence.
Existential Construction "gibt es" → "gibt's"
"gibt's" is the colloquial contraction of "gibt es" and is used to state that something exists or is available.
Percent Sign
Numbers followed by "%" are read as "Prozent"; here "20%" is pronounced "zwanzig Prozent".
Masculine Noun "Rabatt"
"Rabatt" is masculine; in this construction it appears without an article because the verb "geben" already provides the needed structure.

✕Common Mistakes
Diese Woche gibt 20% Rabatt.
Missing the existential "es"; "gibt" alone would mean "gives" without indicating existence.
Diese Woche gibt's den 20% Rabatt.
Adding an unnecessary article; the construction "gibt's" already supplies the article.
Diese Woche gibt's 20 Prozent Rabatt.
Pronouncing the percent sign as "Prozent" but writing it as "20%" is fine; however, learners sometimes say "20 Prozent Rabatt" which sounds awkward.

Nur diese Woche: 20% Rabatt!
Only this week: 20% off!
In dieser Woche gibt es 20 Prozent Ermäßigung.

Cultural Tip
Discounts are common in German retail, especially during seasonal sales (e.g., "Sommer‑Sale" or "Winterschlussverkauf"). The phrase "gibt's" sounds informal; in written ads you’ll often see the full "gibt es". Remember that "Rabatt" is a masculine noun, so you’ll hear "der Rabatt" in longer sentences.
