just means being off work for a bit

 

[Y2Jayne]

I was taught that holiday is related to the event / reason why you're not working and vacation is more like the period of time

 

[CakeWalker]

but a holiday day - could just be spent at home

 

[Sabretooth]

Yeah holidays are thanksgiving Christmas etc

 

[Chris]

Speaking of holidays according to my daily work motivation email it's international chess day

 

[Canadian Dragon]

isnt holidays rooted in Holy Days

 

[Y2Jayne]

So right now I'm on holiday because teachers don't work in July/August here

 

[Y2Jayne]

But I'm not on vacation because I'm home

 

[Sabretooth]

I think European Spanish just has more things tbh

European Spanish is the original Spanish. It got mixed into Latin America later on from conquering and shit which is why it’s a little different over there. In Spain they still speak the old Spanish

 

[Chris]

isnt holidays rooted in Holy Days

I think so, early ones were def religious related in most cultures

 

[Sabretooth]

I mean yeah in America any time off from work is vacation. Even if we’re just staying home

 

[Sabretooth]

When we get summers off in school we call it summer vacation

 

[Sabretooth]

Or summer break tbh

 

[Chris]

I think I just say I'm off work tbh I don't think I use vacation or holiday lol

 

[Y2Jayne]

But you can take a vacation without the day/period being a holiday
