The correct spelling of the word "wert action" is actually "werktage". This German word directly translates to "workdays" in English. The IPA phonetic transcription for this word is /vɛʁktˌaːɡə/. The "w" sound in "wert" is actually pronounced as a "v" sound in German, hence the IPA transcription beginning with /v/. The "t" and "g" sounds at the end of "werktage" are also pronounced more harshly than in English.
