    How it works

    Formed by the pronominal verb 'irse' (to leave/go away) combined with the prepositional locution 'de fin de semana' (for the weekend). The reflexive pronoun must conjugate to agree with the grammatical subject (e.g., me voy, te vas, se va). It functions idiomatically to describe taking a short trip or getaway during the weekend.
