On Friday, next Friday means next week. From Saturday on, next Friday means a week from Friday.

Same for me:

The nearest Friday=This Friday or Friday coming up

The Friday a week from the closest Friday=Next Friday.

I'm thinking this is like bi-weekly, where it can mean twice a week or every two weeks. Like if it's Sunday, and something was happening on Friday, I would just say "Friday ". If I say "next Friday", clearly I speaking about the "next Friday", which would be the upcoming Friday. Both essentially mean the same thing.

I always clarify and use the term "Friday after next".

If I'm referring to this week, I just say Friday. "Next Friday" for next weeks Friday. When people ask "this Friday?" when I say "next Friday" I say "no dummy, I would've just said Friday if that's what I meant. "

You're good. I call the Friday coming "this Friday," and I often spell it out even more with "not this Friday, but next" when talking about the following Friday.

"Next Friday" is a proper term to be used from Thursday thru Saturday for the following weeks Friday. "This Friday" is to be used Sunday thru Wednesday for the upcoming Friday.

You can check the weekly terms on Google or Yahoo search among others.

Not giving u the "Let me google that for you" but just helping you out on what's correct.

If it's less than two days, I say this Friday. If it's more than two days, I say next Friday. If there's a Friday in between, I say Friday after next.

In an attempt to avoid confusion, I almost always say "this coming Friday" for the next approaching Friday. And then say "the following Friday after that" if going beyond "this coming Friday".

I have always said, "this Friday" when talking about the next one to come and, when I say ,"next Friday," I mean a week from this Friday? Am I the only one that says this? Am I retarded, like my wife says?


No, you are correct.

It's just short for "this week's Friday" and "next week's Friday" so when you say next Friday you are always referring to the next week, not the current one.

Had to think about this one. I think usually on Monday (say Oct. 10th) I'll start referring to the upcoming (Oct. 14th) Friday as "This Friday". However on the weekends I'll still use "Next Friday" to describe that day, with this "This Friday" reserved for recent-past tense discussions about the weekend still in progress.

This is really simple.

If there is not a Friday in between the time you are speaking and the Friday in question, it's 'this Friday'.

example - What are you doing this Friday?

If there is a Friday in between the time you're speaking and the Friday in question, it's 'next friday'

Example - What are you doing next Friday?

Anything over 'next Friday', should be classified with a date.

example - What are you doing October 28?

Don't be an a-hole and come at me with shite like, '3 Fridays from now'. Be a human and give me a date.
