When To Use
Semiweekly means twice a week.It can be used this way as an adjective, as in a semiweekly meeting, or an adverb, as in We plan to meet semiweekly. The word biweekly is a synonym, but it can also mean once every two weeks. Although semiweekly is typically only used to mean twice a week—not every two weeks—it can still be confusing. The best (and maybe only) way to be perfectly clear is to just say “twice a week.”Semiweekly can also be used as a noun referring to a publication that’s published twice per week (as opposed to a weekly or daily, for example).Example: Let’s plan to meet semiweekly, every Tuesday and Friday.
