Why don't you take the day off?

Hey everyone, today I will be talking about the difference between:

-take the day off

This means that you ask for or are offered the day off. You have CHOSEN to take a day off or someone OFFERED it to you.

Bob, you look a bit pale why don't you take the rest of the day off.

Sir, my son has an operation tomorrow. Can I take the day off?

-have the day off

This means that you don't have to work. These are your regular days off (for most people Saturdays and Sundays) and all national holidays. You CAN'T choose when they are, it is NOT your decision.

I have Thursdays and Fridays off.

Next Monday is Umi no Hi so I have the day off, woohoo~!

So everyone:

What are your days off?
