Definition
假日 (jià rì) refers to a specific non-working day or short holiday period, such as a public holiday or day off. It differs from 假期 (jià qī), which means a longer vacation period (e.g., school break), and from 节日 (jié rì), which emphasizes a festive or cultural celebration. 假日 is neutral and focuses on time off from work or school.
