<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">Hello Heiko,</span></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt;"> </span></p>
<p style="font-family: times new roman,serif;" class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13pt;">I think there was a
discussion here some time ago about this northern german peculiarity. I have
seen meetings fail because northern germans and people from elsewhere had
different notions about what was "diesen Dienstag" :-) But as to what
"dieser Dienstag" or "this weekend" is, it can extend into
the past as well. "Dieses" is always the named day or weekend that is
closest to the time of speaking, I think, whereas "nächstes"
(future) or "letztes" (past) is one instance farther off. If
you return to your job on a Monday you may ask your colleague "Was
hast du denn dieses Wochenende gemacht?" And he may say "Ich war im
Arboretum in Ellerhoop!" You say: "Da war ich letztes
Wochenende!" Now you may switch into future: "Und was machst du
dieses Wochenende?" "Na was wohl, Pauli gegen HSV!" "Ach,
ist das nicht erst nächstes Wochenende?" -- So "dieses" is
always the closest weekend, be it future or past. Being a Hamburger, do you
agree?</span></p>

Well, for us (being Seventh-Day-Adventist) we keep Saturday (Sabbath)<br>
free from work and free from housework and Sunday is the day where we<br>
put all the work that is left over from the week before. So of course,<br>
it is still weekend, but it is also the beginning of our week.<br>
<br>
But "this weekend" reminds me of another quirk: for me<br>
* "this weekend" is the weekend that follows immediately,<br>
* whereas "next weekend" is the weekend that follow after "this
weekend".<br>
<br>
But I freqently notice that quite some people do not see it this way<br>
and say "next weekend" when they mean actually "this
weekend".<br>
<br>
Heiko</span></p>
