Let’s imagine it’s currently Wednesday the 1st. Does “next Saturday” mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

    Out of curiosity, how would you say “this saturday” and “next saturday” in your native language and what would the literal translation be?

      I would say “this Saturday” and “next Saturday”, which literally translates to “this Saturday” and “next Saturday”. My native language is English ;)

        Hah, oops, I thought you meant that you learned this lesson as a non native english speaker! I must have misunderstood.
