National Holiday
easy
Note from asker:
| grazie per la risposta ma non intendevo NATIONAL HOLIDAY o BANK HOLIDAY per uk. In tialia è giorno festivo anche il sabato e la domenica. Ogni sabato è una national holiday? Non credo ma grazie in italia è GIORNO FERIALE (lu-ve) GIORNO FESTIVO (sa, do) oltre alle feste tipo national holiday ma ogni sabato e domenica sono giorni festivi, questo traducente mi serve |

: The asker hasn't given any context, but 'weekends and national/public holidays' might fit.

Federal holiday
It's rather confusing in the US because 'national' holiday should mean everybody in the nation should get a day off work (paid). But it is not so. There are 11 federal holidays when offices are closed (Christmas, Thanksgiving, MLK etc.) A state, a municipality or a business can decide whether employees have a day off work (most do) and they can also declare more local holidays. Once every 4 years an extra federal holiday is added for Inauguration day.

Every dictionary I consulted translated 'giorno' festivo as national holiday, public holiday or, in the US federal holiday. Your question is not so clear. There is the work week (5 or 6 days) and the weekend, which doesn't mean much since many people work on Saturday and /or Sunday. There are 'workdays' and 'non-working days' which means "any day on which an employee is not scheduled or obliged to carry out their regular work hours.

Example sentence:
We don’t have “national holidays” in the U.S., as no one is compelled to follow the lead of the federal government in these matters, so the most “official” kind of holidays we have are federal holidays.
Individual states have no obligation to honor federal holidays, but they usually do.

: Only if this relates to the US. I know Alessandra asked for US English, but the question is likely to be about Italy.

A thank you, and perhaps even some points, would have been nice.

As for public holidays in the United States, they are set by federal, state, and local governments and are often observed by closing government offices or giving government employees paid time off.
