In (brazilian) portuguese we say just Friday to mean this Friday and "the other Friday", "a outra sexta-feira" for the Friday in the next week.
- heftig 5y agoI think in English that would actually refer to the last Friday. ("last" as in the one most recently in the past, not some final Friday.)
- elros 5y agoFor last Friday, we would probably use either "sexta-feira passada" (past Friday), which is more 'portable' among dialects, or "sexta-feira agora" qualified with a verb in past tense, or a time phrase. "sexta-feira agora" would mean this (next) Friday if unqualified. 1) – Vocês vão se encontrar quando? (When will you meet?) – Sexta-feira (Friday, this Friday) 2) – Vocês vão se encontrar sexta-feira dia 15? (Will you meet on Friday the 15th?) – Não, sexta-feira agora (No, this Friday) 3) – Quando que você se encontrou com ele? (When did you meet him?) – Sexta-feira (Last Friday) 4) – Quando que você se encontrou com ele? – Sexta-feira agora (Last Friday) 5) – Quando que você se encontrou com ele? – Sexta-feira passada (Last Friday)
- elros 5y agoIn my dialect of Brazilian Portuguese (Carioca) one would seldom hear "a outra sexta-feira" in an unqualified statement. One would indeed say simply "sexta-feira" for Friday, and optionally "sexta-feira agora" (Friday now) if more precision is required, but for the Friday in the next week we'd use the set phrase "sexta-feira, sem ser essa, a outra" (Friday, not this one, the next), pretty much spoken as a single word ([sẽj̃se̯ˌɛsɐ̯ˈotrɐ̥])
