Let's imagine it's currently Wednesday the 1st. Does "next Saturday" mean Saturday the 4th (the next Saturday to occur) or Saturday the 11th (the Saturday of next week)?

‘This’ is the first Saturday, ‘next’ is the second Saturday, from whatever day that you are in.

Not wegen today is Sunday

What?

You heard them.

I'm asking for clarification, I do not know what's trying to be communicated.

Thanks for the correction and the reply, now it makes more sense.

Man I feel like I really earned that correction with some of the replies I got. :p

Not *when today is Sunday

Actually what I said still works. If you're on a Sunday, you have one Saturday in front of you still, and you would say "this Saturday".
