La otra semana

Question

Around these parts, the expression "la otra semana" means "next week" as in "Voy a visitarlo la otra semana" (I'm going to visit him next week). Is that a regional expression, or is it consistent around the world?

Of course we also use "la próxima semana" and "la semana que viene".

Answer 1

"La otra semana", "la próxima semana" and "la semana que viene" are equivalent in Mexico.

Answer 2

Exactly the same in Chile (like Mexico)...

Answer 3

I have been taught that next week is "la semana que viene". I also think la semana próxima is current. But then again I learnt castillian Spanish.

Answer 4

Para mí ha sido "la semana próxima".
