1 Today is Wed 10th June,and if someone says to you see you next Friday is it the 12th of June?
2 Today is Wed 10th June,and if someone says to you see you this Friday is it the 12th of June?
3 Today is Wed 10th June,and if someone says to you see you next Friday is it the 19th of June?
Or are This and Next the same thing?
Me if I mean to see you on the 19th,I would say "See you Friday week"?
And you?

I agree, confusion abounds over something like this doesn't it. !

I've no easy answers though I think I use "this Friday "to mean 12th of June, and I get confused myself about the meaning of " next Friday"(?).

'This' can be used but not necessary

In my simple world;

I'll see you Friday

I'll see you a week from Friday

In any event.....bring the beer

For me "next" Friday would be the 19th of June. "This" Friday would be the 12th of June.

If someone said ''see you this friday '', I would think 12th of June.... ''Next Friday'' would be the 19th

The next day and this day are the same This week and next week are different.

The next day and this day are the same This week and next week are different.

Well.....that certainly clears thing up

Sorry, my Fridays are all booked up.

"This Friday" for the 12th, definitely. It gets tricky with "next Friday".

When someone says "next Friday", knowing that different people have different meanings for that term, I always ask "Do you mean Friday the 12th or Friday the 19th?" Otherwise, for sure, I'll be sitting somewhere waiting for a week or I'll be a week late.

I do the same with specifying the exact date, as jujube does.

….and then there's always "Friday after next" (OK, is that the 19th or the 26th?) and "Friday week" (which always meant in my family "a week from this Friday).

Can we move this to Tuesday?

Me if I mean to see you on the 19th,I would say "See you Friday week"?
And you?

If I meant the 12th, I'd say "See you on Friday."
If I meant the 19th, I'd say "See you on Friday of next week."

And you?

In the example provided, I would reply, "as in this Friday, as in June 12th, like in two days from now"?

I work with dates, and you can never go wrong with that.

This Friday is the 12th
Next Friday is end of next week, the 19th
