What does the Japanese say here?

A week today. As the tags say, "today week" is old-fashioned English but it is not incorrect.

I still have no idea what that means...

blay_paul blay_paul September 4, 2010 September 4, 2010 at 11:40:17 AM UTC link Permalink

Er, I just told you. It means the same as "a week today".

What does "a week today" mean?

blay_paul blay_paul September 4, 2010 September 4, 2010 at 11:50:59 AM UTC link Permalink

It's one day less than a week tomorrow. :-P

OK, here are some example sentences:

My birthday is in seven days time.
My birthday is in week's time.
My birthday is in a week's time from today.
My birthday is a week today.
My birthday is today week.

They all mean the same thing.

This Japanese is strange. I did't notice that before.
I think it shoud be 来週の今日.

Oh! A week *from* today. Well, that makes much more sense... Please tag this as British at least, because I've never ever ever heard "today week"/"week today" used once in my 14+ years in the U.S...
