Signification
The week following this one
Contexte culturel
Czechs are generally very punctual and like to plan their 'příští týden' by Friday afternoon. Trying to change plans last minute is often seen as stressful. In Czech offices, 'příští týden' is the standard unit for project milestones. It's common to have 'Monday morning meetings' to discuss the 'příští týden' goals. The school year is divided into weeks, and 'příští týden' often refers to the 'even' or 'odd' week (sudý/lichý týden), which dictates different schedules. The 'cottage' (chata) culture means that 'příští týden' often excludes the weekend unless specifically mentioned, as people are away.
No Preposition Needed
Remember: just say 'příští týden'. Don't add 'v' unless you want to sound like a news anchor!
The Sunday Ambiguity
If you say this on a Sunday, clarify if you mean 'tomorrow' or 'the week after next'.
