And for plural:
Los fines de semana.
NOT los fines de semanas.

Yes, fin de semana is weekend.
Week = semana (femine noun), so if you wanted to say this week, you would say,
Esta semana.
El fin de semana = weekend (masculine), so if you wanted to say this weekend, you would say,
Este fin de semana.
The correct translation for the weekend would be,
El fin de semana.

Gracias a todos Thanks for all the explanation and extra information as well
Is 'Feliz fin de semana largo' is the right way of wishing a Happy long weekend?
