Hello! It's a lovely day for a WordMaster, don't you think?
THIS COMING (weekend) 次の(週末)
- This coming - as in “this coming weekend” - means “the one about to happen”.
- this coming は、これから間もなくやってくる、という意味で、this coming weekend (次の週末)のように使われます。
- In Examples 1-3, it's Wednesday, December 9th.
- The shipment is scheduled to arrive this coming Friday (= on the 11th).
- Do you have any plans for this coming weekend (= for the 12th and 13th)?
- a: Did we make an appointment for this Monday?
b: No, not this coming Monday (= the 14th) but the Monday after that (= the 21st). - I'm going to ask Phillip to give the opening remarks at this coming annual meeting.
See you tomorrow!
