'Next Tuesday'

[JayMax]

To me "This Tuesday" means "This Tuesday coming", and "Next Tuesday" is the one after that.

If you were at a train station and the train was 6 hours away, would you call it 'this train' or 'the next train'?

a case of the myself being a see you next Tuesday

Arf arf

 

[Judgeneo]

This Tuesday and next Tuesday mean the same to me. Though I normally just say tuesday.

I didn't say "The next Tuesday", I said "Next Tuesday". I hear/say that as "The week after Next's Tuesday".

Already been threads on this.

The next train, but a day is a time whilst a train is an object, so it's not really a fair comparison as obviously saying 'the next 3pm' is very silly!

I've always thought of this as a polite way of calling someone a terrible thing.

C U Next Tuesday

To me, next Tuesday is the next time that Tuesday arrives in the future, so would be the 19th. The Tuesday after next would be the 26th.

 

[Limpnoodle]

nvm

 

[Raymond Lin]

next Tuesday is the one coming next?

and the one approaching is 19th?

19th July.

It is quite obviously the 19th - as that is the next Tuesday we'll have, therefore, its next Tuesday.

When you watch a TV show and it says 'Next week on Knitting Weekly...' they are not telling you about the show after next, are they?

When are the next Olympics? Not 2016, duh.

 

[Raymond Lin]

nvm

Yesterday. As a week runs Monday to Sunday (if you believe in god)

This is something fairly grammatically unique to days and months, so whilst the next Olympics is clearly in 2012, your example isn't comparable with the statement in the OP.

 

[Castiel]

Assume today is Wednesday 13th July.

When is 'next Tuesday' - the 19th of July, or the 26th of July?

I would have said the 26th, because the 19th would just be Tuesday, no need for the word 'next'.

Please post your highly exciting answer to this question

Edit:

I believe I do this to an extent... the closer it is, the more it makes sense to just say the day.

This is so weird.

My wife on saturday said something about 'next Wednesday' I assumed she meant today, when in fact she meant the 20th.

We had a long discussion on whether next Wednesday is the next Wednesday we come to, or the one after that as that one would be this Wednesday.

I hold the opinion that next Wednesday in this case is today, and the 20th would have been the following Wednesday

anyway, it is just weird that we had this conversation and it gets bought up here today. (Wednesday)......so I play you out to the sound of the Twilight Zone...dodododo...dodododo....

19th is this Tuesday.
26th is next Tuesday.

 

[Lightnix]

In this case I'd say 'next Tuesday' is the 19th, because for me it's a part of next week, where each week is defined as beginning on Monday.

Errr, the question was when is next Tuesday

 

[Lightnix]

Errr, the question was when is next Tuesday

Yeah but I'm a special and unique *********.

 

[Jambo]

Saying it today means the 19th to me. If someone said it this Sunday then I would want clarification. You mean this Tuesday coming or the one after?

To me it's open to interpretation depending on when it's said.

 

[Pighardia]

To me "This Tuesday" means "This Tuesday coming", and "Next Tuesday" is the one after that.

That's the way that i have always used it and quite a few people i know

Can understand both though. I suppose the other way even makes more sense, but i've always used it that way
