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)?

    ‘This’ is the first Saturday, ‘next’ is the second Saturday, from whatever day that you are in.

        Disagree. Even if it’s Sunday, the rule still applies.

            Not wegen today is Sunday

            What?

            You heard them.

            I’m asking for clarification, I do not know what’s trying to be communicated.

                Autocorrect massacred the word when. Now my post should make more sense

                Thanks for the correction and the reply, now it makes more sense.

                Man I feel like I really earned that correction with some of the replies I got. :p

                This’ is the first Saturday, ‘next’ is the second Saturday, from whatever day that you are in.

                Not *when today is Sunday

                Actually what I said still works. If you’re on a Sunday, you have one Saturday in front of you still, and you would say “this Saturday”.
