This Saturday will be cold. "This Saturday will be cold." How can you write it in Japanese? Here is my sentence: この木曜日、天気は寒い。 It was corrected actually, but since I did not write its English version, I think that native speaker misunderstood me. "Saturday" in the phrase "This Saturday" hasn't come yet. By the time I said it, it could be Monday or Tuesday. 今日は木曜日、天気が悪くて寒い。今日は木曜日、寒い。

Hi Kira,

 

Often in many languages, one cannot translate literally. Same is the case in Japanese.

Suppose you want to say your sentence on a Tuesday.

Normally we would say: 「土曜日はさむくなるよ・なります・なるでしょう・なるそうです。」

You can add 「来る土曜日は」「今度の土曜日は」、but this would rather be the case on

weather forecasts etc. and not in a normal conversation unless you want to speak about

next Saturday. l hope this was helpful.

This Saturday will be cold.

I think the correct way of saying this is: 「この土曜日は寒くなります OR   この土曜日は寒くなるでしょう」I don't think you really need the word 天気 in this case, but when you do, it will be like this: 「この土曜日は天気が寒くなります。」


I hope my answer was helpful!
