nine days of holiday/holidays

[joham]

I've just come back from nine days of holiday (or holidays?).

I've just come back from a nine-day holiday. (Can we say 'a nine days holiday' or 'my nine days holiday' or 'my nine days' holiday'?)

Could I ask native speakers to help me please? Thank you in advance.

I agree with 2006. Say:

I have just come back from a nine-day holiday.

Longman Dictionary says:

In this job you get four weeks holiday a year.

Would 'four weeks' holiday' or 'four weeks of holiday' be better than 'four weeks holiday'?

Thank you again.

Would 'four weeks' holiday'
or 'four weeks of holiday' be better than 'four weeks holiday' ? ("of" can be used or omitted)

'four weeks of holidays' would also be correct because you may make 2 or more separate holidays out of those four weeks. (here I would keep "of")
