When to use it

周末 means weekend, and 这个 (this) pairs with it using the measure word 个. Mainland speakers almost always say 这个周末, while Taiwan often writes 週末 with the fuller character. A subtle point: 周末 in China typically means Saturday and Sunday, but for office workers on a 996 schedule (9am-9pm, 6 days a week), 周末 might really just mean Sunday. You'll also hear 礼拜六礼拜天 (lǐbàiliù lǐbàitiān) as a more colloquial alternative, especially from older speakers or in southern China.
