days

Week's seven units

Days is the plural of day—a period of twenty-four hours or the portion when there's sunlight.

Extended uses mark periods in someone's life: in my younger days, back in the days when phones had cords.

Something's days can mean its remaining lifespan: This old car has seen better days.

These days means currently or lately.
