to wear Explanation: 好きな服 (suki na fuku) could be "favourite clothing" or "what I like to wear". I would probably translate the phrase as "On Saturdays I wear what I like" or "On Saturdays I wear what I want". I suspect that with context, this might contrast with during the week when the speaker has to wear a uniform. |
