If I say "See you next Saturday" on Thursday... When will I see you?

[TropicofCapricorn]

In 2 days, or a week and 2 days?

To me "this Saturday" is in two days, next Saturday is the one after...

The one after.

I would always make extra sure by saying the date too, to avoid confusion, but then I do like to double check 😀

I would have to ask, as I never know what people mean when they say this.

I think most people would differentiate between ‘this Saturday’ and ‘next Saturday’ but I wouldn’t want to take the risk of assuming!

On Saturday or this Saturday, two days’ time.
Next Saturday, in a week and two days.

But as PP, if it’s something important then I always add the date as some people just don’t really grasp it.

The one after, ie a week and two days

A week and two days but I would check "do you mean next Saturday or this Saturday" just in case.

I’m in the ’this Saturday’ and ‘next Saturday’ camp too. So next Saturday for me would be the 26th.

Saturday after

Same as you, if I thought there may be confusion I would say "not this Saturday, the one after"

It would be a week and two days for me

See you on Saturday = this Saturday coming
See you next Saturday / a week Saturday = the one after

I would assume a week and two days.

This is an argument starter in my house 🤣 I think using "next" means the one after "this" one but my husband disagrees. He would say next Saturday = the next Saturday coming up and it drives me insane!

No idea. Why don't people say "This coming Saturday" or "A week on Saturday."

People use ‘this Saturday’ in different ways. Which is why dates were invented.

Don't get me started on Easter Saturday.

This Saturday is the Saturday that occurs in the current week. Next Saturday is the one that occurs in the forthcoming week. So next Saturday from today occurs in a week and two days.

This Wednesday was yesterday. Next Wednesday occurs in six days time. The week starts on a Sunday, so this Sunday was 4 days ago.

I don't see how other can be any different to next Saturday as in the one after

I agree with you, but I know there are some regional variations so would check just to make sure.

My husband and I argue about the same. I'm with your husband 😂😂

I’d think 9 days but I’d check.

A week on Saturday

A week and two days. The first Saturday is this Saturday to me, not next.

2 days = this Saturday
9 days = next Saturday or a week on Saturday.

This is why we use Saturday week in Ireland

You’re correct. My son and I have almost fought to the death over this! 😂 I’m so glad you started a thread! It’s my proof!
