word choice - Difference between [休日]{きゅうじつ}, [休暇]{きゅうか} and 休{やす}み


What is the difference between 休日, 休暇 and 休み? When each should be used?




Answer



休日 and 休暇 mean a day off. 休み sometimes means a day off, but also means taking a rest.


It seems 休日 is a day off under the company/school's regulations: Like Saturdays, Sundays and national holidays. 休暇 is a day off that is not stipulated by your school/company's regulations, but you apply for a day off and they approve it.


From my personal experience, people don't distinguish between 休日 and 休暇 strictly. They just mean a day off.
