✕Common Mistakes
Sim, é para sexta que vem.
Missing the article *a* before the weekday; the correct form is *a sexta que vem*.
Sim, está para a sexta que vem.
Using *é* (ser) is fine, but many learners mistakenly use *está* (estar) which is incorrect for a scheduled future event.
Sim, é para a sexta‑feira que vem.
Both *sexta* and *sexta‑feira* are acceptable, but mixing them with the article can sound redundant: *a sexta‑feira que vem* is acceptable, while *a sexta que vem* is more natural.
↔Alternatives
Sim, será na próxima sexta‑feira.
Yes, it will be on next Friday.
Claro, vamos marcar para sexta que vem.
Sure, let's set it for the Friday that comes.
Combinado, sexta‑feira que vem então.
Agreed, then next Friday.
Cultural Tip
In Brazil, *sexta que vem* is the everyday way to refer to the Friday of the following week, while *próxima sexta‑feira* sounds a bit more formal. In Portugal people often say *na sexta‑feira que vem* or simply *na próxima sexta*. Remember that the article *a* before the weekday is mandatory when the day functions as a noun, not when it works as an adjective (e.g., *na sexta* vs *sexta‑feira*).
