Refs: | Are you sure about "the week after next"? To me, that means two weeks from *now* (which is what 次々週 means, but not 翌々週, I believe). . It's my understanding (perhaps I'm wrong) that 翌々週 means two weeks from *then* (i.e. from some point in the past or future, but not from *now*). . Certainly, 翌週 is defined in EDICT as "the following week; the next week" rather than "next week", which would mean "one week from *now*". . Similarly, Shogakukan defines 翌週 as "the next [following] week" and not as "next week" (the "the" makes a significant difference to the meaning). . And Kojien says 翌週 means その次の週 and not simply 来週. . At the following reference, is defined as "two weeks later", which is what I would have expected, and matches "the week after the following week" but not "the week after next". http://www.jlogos.com/new2_result2.html?id=7720272&word=翌々週 . Kojien also has 翌翌年 = 翌年の翌年。その次の次の年。 and not simply 再来年. Kojien also has a similar entry for 翌翌日. . In EDICT, 翌翌日 = "two days later; next day but one" and NOT as "the day after tomorrow". However, EDICT says 翌翌年 = "two years later; year after next" and I think that's incorrect. It should be "two years later; the year after the following year", I believe (based on Kojien's definition.) |
