akibun 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I have a question! If today is Monday and somebody says "ok lets meet next Tuesday", do they mean tomorrow or a week tomorrow. And if on Thursday people say "next weekend", which weekend do they mean? It is confusing for me! Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 I advise you not to hang out with people like that - it's the safest course I think. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 12, 2005 Share Posted September 12, 2005 The closer date would be "this Tuesday" or "this weekend". Using "next" implies one after the first. You can always ask for clarification Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted September 13, 2005 Share Posted September 13, 2005 More than a few English speakers get confused with that akibun. Not me of course, you understand. Best to ask just to make sure. Link to post Share on other sites
