So today is Thursday...Is Saturday, "This Saturday" or "Next Saturday". would Next Saturday be over a week away or truly the next one?
This or Next
This Saturday is the 4th and next Saturday is the 11th? I would hate to learn English as a second language, but then again I’m still mastering it as my first.

This is what I thought.
For me, Saturday the 4th is "This Saturday". Saturday the 11th is "Next Saturday". But if I'm telling somebody when we're planning something, I'll always clarify it like "Next Saturday, the 11th" to avoid any confusion.

Next Saturday is.......Next Saturday. Unless I have my Saturdays mixed up. I know it's not Last Saturday.

This is how I would interpret it if someone said "this" or "next" Saturday to me.
I'm saying the 4th is "this Saturday" because it is during this(current) week. The 11th is "next Saturday" because it is the Saturday during next week

While the 11th may be next Saturday, I would also argue that the 4th is the next Saturday.

The 4th is either "this saturday" or just "saturday"... ie "see you (this) saturday"
The 11th is "saturday".
The 18th is "saturday after next"
Gif would actually be great for blocking people.. going to show up all over the covid thread

I have to agree with this. At least, this is how I've been taught my whole life? If someone said "next Saturday" to me today, I would think they are talking about the 11th.

This is Saturday of this week. Next is the Saturday in next week.
cancelled due to outbreak.. haha. Or at least it should be..
My Irish boss would say July 4th is Saturday and July 11th is Saturday Week. The dumbfounded look on my face the first time he said that made him laugh hysterically.
"This Saturday" is short for "This upcoming Saturday". NExt Saturday refers the to Saturday after this saturday.
