Does a weekday preceded with a plural definite article express regular events?

Question

I know that "il martedì" in "il martedì mangio formaggio" means "on Tuesdays" (a regular event). Could I say "i martedì mangio formaggio" instead ? I have read it for the first time today and I am not sure if it is correct.

I think the answer in your previous question would apply here too. — , Oct 24 '19 at 16:54
*Il martedì* o *tutti i martedì* io mangio formaggio. — , Oct 24 '19 at 16:55

As correctly stated in a comment to your question you have 2 options:

"Il martedì mangio formaggio."
"Tutti i martedì mangio formaggio", but also "ogni martedì mangio formaggio".

So, to reply to your question, you cannot say "i martedì mangio formaggio", but "tutti i martedì mangio formaggio" or it will sound incomplete.

"On tuesdays" = "il martedì" = "tutti i martedì".

Thanks for the answer! So I have 3 options, not 2. – Alan Evangelista Oct 29 '19 at 15:40
