This weekend? Next weekend?

[Chojin]

OP is correct but if there is any ambiguity then it might be down to foreign languages influencing English. Like how people say "take the decision" instead of "make the decision", it sounds like a native Spanish speaker translated it to English.

Usually the foreign language causing confusion is American (almost) English. Shiv is correct and anyone using 'this weekend' for the weekend they are in deserves a slap for not saying today or tomorrow.

To me, next weekend, means the weekend following the one that's coming. This weekend, is the one that's about to arrive.

You are correct. Don't listen to anybody else.

Apparently, I'm wrong and this weekend is the weekend that just passed, and next weekend is the one that's coming. I didn't ask what last weekend is though.

This minion is incredibly stupid.

What about 'the weekend'?

 

[Feek]

This weekend, the weekend coming.

Week Saturday, the weekend after.

I started using specific dates a while back because I got fed up of people getting in a muddle over it. Does sound ridiculous in conversation though.

Monday to Friday I tend to say this coming weekend or a week this coming Saturday or Sunday if meaning the folllowing weekend.

Saturday and Sunday = this weekend or next weekend if meaning the following weekend.

This thread is getting very confusing and I had to think about what I was typing there.
