If you say 'Let's hang out this weekend' on a Sunday afternoon

Next weekend

Future. It's too late to say "Let's hang out this weekend" on a Sunday, if you mean the current weekend.

In other words, if you want to hang out this weekend, you would say it on a weekday before the weekend.

future. if you wanted to hang out that sunday, youd say "later" or "tonight"

In Seattle Washington that means "I want to leave now so I'm going to say this and you better not show up at my house next weekend"

Repost. I had this thread a few years ago. ATOT was split roughly 50/50.

Future weekend is the only correct choice.

It's a different era now.

I would know what you mean but I'd tell you you were saying it wrong.

"This" weekend would mean the first time from now that you are in a weekend. Since you are currently in a weekend, it'd mean now. I'd say that "This" weekend is pretty much over so how about Next weekend. Once if gets to be Monday, then THIS weekend would be the next one to occur and NEXT weekend would be the one after that.

Saturday evening is the deadline to say "this weekend" and mean the weekend which is currently occurring. Asking on Sunday automatically means the next approaching weekend.

"A", so never.

Take the current day and assign a numeric value from 0 to 6. Take the day in question and assign a numeric value from 7 to 13. Now take the product of both values. Take that number and subtract 50. If the value is larger than 200, the it means the weekend that falls within 7 days from the current day.

 

[bonkers325]

the week starts at sunday, so this weekend implies the upcoming fri/sat/sun

 

[Pacfanweb]

If it is not Sunday yet, then "this Sunday" means, the upcoming Sunday. "Next Sunday" would mean Sunday next week.

If I tell you to call me "this Tuesday", and today is Sunday, that means call me the day after tomorrow.

If you say "lets hang out this weekend" on a sunday then you simply fail at mastering the english language. Unless we're talking late in the evening sunday, and then it might be ok.

This. Don't use such ambigious language. If you mean the day you're saying it say today or tonight. If you say let's hang out next weekend on a sunday afternoon that would mean 6 days from now.

weekend = saturday/sunday... sunday afternoon still being part of the current weekend, this weekend = current weekend.

So then, on a tuesday you say.. "lets hang out this tuesday", and mean the current day?

 

[drum]

If you said that and meant it to mean hang out later that day, you can't possibly expect someone to think you are talking about the current day. Why would you not say "today"?
If you said "today" it couldn't possibly be misunderstood. You're just setting up a huge opportunity for miscommunication.

 

[mugs]

I would never say "let's hang out this weekend" on a Sunday. I'd say "let's hang out today" or "let's hang out next weekend.

If someone did say that though, I'd believe that they were referring to the weekend that is 6 days away.

No. If said on Saturday it's okay.

I would say noon Sunday is the cut off.
