Cultural Tip
In Italian, the most natural way to refer to the upcoming Friday is 'venerdì prossimo'. You can also say 'il prossimo venerdì', but the article is optional and the word order changes. When talking about dates, Italians often use the preposition 'per' to indicate the scheduled day, e.g., 'per lunedì' (for Monday). Remember that days of the week are written in lowercase.
