Pronunciation
/feˈrja.le/

Cultural Note
Confusingly, 'feriale' means weekday (working day), not holiday, despite its similarity to 'ferie' (vacation). This is a common trap for learners. Bus and train schedules distinguish between 'feriale' (weekday) and 'festivo' (holiday/Sunday) timetables.
📝 Example Sentences

Nei giorni feriali il museo chiude alle cinque.
On weekdays the museum closes at five.
