Cultural Tip
In everyday Italian, days of the week are normally mentioned without an article. Adding ‘il’ (e.g., *il giovedì*) would sound overly formal or refer to a habitual action (‘every Thursday’). Also, ‘libero’ is informal and friendly; for business contexts you might prefer ‘disponibile’. Remember to match the adjective’s gender with the speaker’s gender.
