こんしゅうまつ
noun
this weekend
time-period
1. this weekend; the coming weekend
The weekend of the current week — normally the Saturday and Sunday just ahead, and sometimes Friday evening as well. Used adverbially without a particle as often as it is used as a plain noun.
今週末(こんしゅうまつ)(ひま)です。
I'm free this weekend.
今週末(こんしゅうまつ)映画(えいが)()()きません
Would you like to go see a movie this weekend?
My plans for this weekend aren't settled yet, so I'll get in touch tomorrow.

Formed from (こん) (this) + 週末(しゅうまつ) (weekend). Like other time words of this shape, it takes no particle when used adverbially: 今週末(こんしゅうまつ)()きます, not ×今週末(こんしゅうまつ)()きます.
