One day a fortnight

English to Turkish Art/Literary Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting
Arkadaşlar, aşağıdaki cümlede "one day a fortnight" ile ne denilmek istendiğini anlayamadım? Yardımcı olur musunuz?

Besides that, doctors were expensive and prescribed expensive drugs, from which everyone assumed they earned high commissions.
There was also a clinic a few villages away, but it was staffed by a full-time nurse and a part-time circular doctor who worked there one day a fortnight.

Votes to reclassify question as PRO/non-PRO:

Non-PRO (2): Recep Kurt, Yunus Can ATLAR

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.

How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:

An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)

A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).

Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.

When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.

* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

A fortnight is a unit of time equal to 14 days (2 weeks). The word derives from the Old English term fēowertyne niht, meaning "fourteen nights". Some wages and salaries are paid on a fortnightly basis; however, in North America it is far more common to use the term biweekly.
