Honestly the first one is the only one that works when people define the first day of the week differently. On the other hand, it does make you wonder. If Sunday is the first day of the week (as it is in many places) then how is it also part of the weekend?

But if you're worried about locale, you can't assume people use the string "Saturday" to describe Saturday either. That solution only works in English.

I assume this is in a language where the first day of the week is a fixed part of the language (like JS).

Yeah it's the front end of the week and Saturday is the rear end

They're the week's ends, front and back.

Thats not really one weekend then though, is it? Its more like last week’s post-week weekend and this week’s pre-week weekend
