They are similar because they sound exactly the same yet very different because weak means frail and not strong and week refers to a period of seven days that make up months

The homonyms 'week' and 'weak' do very different things despite sounding alike. 'Week' is a noun, referring to a period of seven days, and 'weak' is an adjective for something that is not strong.
