/el pɾoɡsimo sabado/from spelling rules

The English phrase "next Saturday" is translated into Spanish as el próximo sábado.

This phrase is used to refer to the Saturday that follows the current date.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase el próximo sábado is composed of the definite article el (the), the adjective próximo (next) and the noun sábado (Saturday).

In some Caribbean countries, the expression El sábado entrante is used to convey the idea of "next Saturday".

When used as a time adverbial, the phrase requires the definite article el before it.

Although próximo is the standard way to say 'next', it is a doublet of the Spanish word prójimo, which means 'neighbor' or 'fellow man'.
