Normally idioms are language specific, but number of hours and days are the same.

    Is it? I know some cultures have a traditional lunar calendar, but I didn’t know there were many that didn’t also use the Gregorian calendar for business.

    Which cultures have the seven day week without the solar year?

      use the Gregorian calendar for business

      AKA, to talk to foreigners. Everybody that doesn’t use the Gregorian calendar uses it to talk to foreigners, if that’s the bar, then it’s universal.

        Well, I only know how it tends to work in China, where the traditional calendar is used for cultural events such as festivals, while the Gregorian calendar is used for just about everything else, including domestic business. I assumed it’s the same in most modern cultures with a different traditional calendar, but maybe I’m wrong.
