Answer 3

Cada otra semana - maybe

I used to say "cada otro día" for every other day and no one understood me. I thought it made so much sense. Go figure. - gringojrf, Apr 3, 2014

@gringojrf .. yes my friend ,, they may not have understood u because the literral yranslation doesn't work always ... saying ,, every other day ,, is the english logic or the english way which wont be understood by natives - 00b055e0, Apr 3, 2014

Answer 4

I have heard people use "cada quincena" a lot. It means "every fortnight". Not exactly every other week.

It is common when refering to the last day in the two weeks like pay day. - 00551866, Apr 3, 2014

cada would mean every consequitive ,, but here we are discussing on every alternate week (as opposed to every week) - 00b055e0, Apr 3, 2014

yes Jimmy, but every fortnight IS every other week - deedeegill72, Apr 4, 2014

Answer 5

My favourites would be ...

Cada dos semanas.

Cada semana por medio.

Una semana sí y otra no.

Answer 6

Also, "De semana por medio".

Answer 7

For every other week ,, u can say ,, "con una semana de por medio" ( don't try to translate into english as it wont make sense in English, just verify it with a native speaker and learn it up) .. or u can say ,, una semana si y otra no.

For every other day ,, besides the above two ways you can also say "interdiario".. for example ,, voy al gimnasio interdiario..

Hope it helps.
