they're very similar to each other and the most of cases you can switch with each other. however, they could be distinguished from each other like this;

평일 is workday which is not a holiday, of course including weekend.
주중 is weekday, which is from monday to friday without weekend.
평일 might be holiday like national holiday or christmas.
check out the word 공휴일(public holiday).

평일 월요일~금요일
이번 주 중 any day of this week
다음 주 중 any day of next week

평일은 토요일, 일요일, 공휴일이 아닌 보통날.
주 중은 어느 주의 기간 안.
예
평일에 뭐해?(월화수목금)
이 번 주 중(월화수목금토일)에는 만날 수 없을 것 같아

similar but 주중's origin is not a weekend so same mean

@symegan:
Ive never thought about difference between 평일 and 주중 in my life.
in this app I learn not only English but also Korean as well 😅

@LeeA01040389363: l didn't know the difference between those two, so i just asked my colleague! I also agree with you. l get to learn my mother language here 😌

평일 weekdays excluding holidays
주중 weekdays/during the week

평일 = weekday but not holiday.

주중 = weekday regardless of holiday

평일에는 혼자 점심 먹어요.

If Liberation Day is on Wednesday of next week,

담주 평일에 점심 먹자.
Let's have lunch on weekdays next week except Wednesday.

담주 주중에 점심 먹자.
Let's have lunch on one of weekdays next week.

같아요

same meaning

Significan lo mismo

@helluvariver gracias. Pero para usarlas hay alguna diferencia?

No hay diferencia :)

It's same

평일 means literally ‘ordinary days’ and its antonym is 공휴일 which means saturdays, sundays, and holidays.

주중 literally means midweek, and roughly translates to weekdays. its antonym is 주말=weekends.

both same

평일, 주중 Both mean week day.

휴일, 주말=weekend days

right

@ocu1us
Thank you 🐯
So, they both just mean "work week" or something else?

it means 'weekday'
but it can be sound like that cause most of koreans go to work/school on weekdays

@ocu1us ok thank you 🥺

same meaning!

@haeun9123

같은 뜻입니다 주중은 어려운단어 평일은 쉬운단어
