When talking about time in Japanese, you'll often hear specific words for 'next week,' 'next month,' etc. One of these is 再来週 (saraishū), which means 'the week after next' or 'two weeks from now.'
It’s built from 再 (sai) meaning 're-' or 'again,' 来 (rai) meaning 'coming' or 'next,' and 週 (shū) for 'week.'
So, literally, it's like 're-next-week.' You'll use this when you want to refer to the week that comes after next week. For example, if today is Monday, March 1st, then next week would be March 8th, and 再来週 would be March 15th.
It's a really useful term for scheduling and planning!
When talking about time in Japanese, you'll often hear terms that specify how many weeks or months from the current time something will happen. For example, to say 'next week,' you'd use 来週 (raishuu).
So, what about 'the week after next'? That's where 再来週 (sarai shuu) comes in. The 再 (sai) kanji means 're-' or 'again,' so literally it's like 'again next week' or 'the week after next.'
This is a handy word to know for scheduling and making plans!
When talking about time in Japanese, you'll often hear terms that specify how many weeks or days away something is. 再来週 (さらいしゅう - sarai-shū) literally means "re-coming week," or more naturally, "the week after next."
This is a common way to refer to the period of time that is two weeks from the current week. It's practical for scheduling and discussing future plans. You might use it to say something like, "I'll see you the week after next," or "The project is due the week after next."
When talking about time in Japanese, you'll often encounter specific terms for 'this week,' 'next week,' and so on. Understanding these is key to clear communication.
For 'this week,' you use 今週 (konshū). For 'next week,' it's 来週 (raishū). And for the week after next, as we see here, it's 再来週 (saraishū).
This pattern of adding prefixes like 来 (rai) for 'next' and 再来 (sarai) for 'the one after next' is quite common with time-related nouns. You'll see it with years and months too.
So, if someone says they'll do something 再来週, you know they mean two weeks from now. It's a precise way to refer to the future.
§ What does 再来週 mean and when do people use it?
Let's get straight to it. You need to know how to talk about time in Japanese, and that includes more than just 'this week' or 'next week'. When you want to refer to the week that comes after next week, the word you're looking for is 再来週 (sarai shuu).
- Definition
- Week after next
It's a straightforward noun. Think of it as a single unit meaning 'the week that follows next week'. You'll use this word just like you would 'next week' (来週 - raishuu) or 'this week' (今週 - konshuu) in a sentence.
People use 再来週 in everyday conversations, business settings, and when making plans. It's essential for scheduling, discussing future events, and coordinating with others. If you're arranging a meeting, talking about a project deadline, or even just planning a casual get-together, 再来週 will come in handy.
Let's look at some common scenarios where you'd hear or use 再来週:
- Making Plans: You want to suggest meeting up two weeks from now.
- Scheduling Appointments: Your doctor's office offers you an appointment for the week after next.
- Project Deadlines: A colleague mentions that a report is due 再来週.
- Discussing Events: You're talking about a festival or concert that's happening 再来週.
It's important to differentiate it from 'two weeks from now'. While 'two weeks from now' can sometimes align with 再来週, it's not always a direct equivalent. 再来週 specifically refers to the entire week. For instance, if today is Monday and you say '再来週', you are referring to the week starting two Mondays from now, up until the Sunday of that week.
再来週、日本に行きます。
Hint: I'm going to Japan the week after next.
会議は再来週の月曜日です。
Hint: The meeting is on the Monday of the week after next.
This word is straightforward to use because it functions like a temporal adverb or a noun that directly states the time. You don't need any particles after it when it indicates when something happens. However, if you want to specify a day within that week, you would add the day of the week (e.g., 再来週の月曜日 - Monday of the week after next).
Mastering 再来週 will significantly improve your ability to communicate about future plans in Japanese. It's a common term you'll encounter and use regularly. Don't overthink it; just remember its core meaning and practice using it in sentences.

§ How to use "再来週"
再来週 (sa-raishuu) literally means "re-next week" and it refers to the week after next week. It's a straightforward way to talk about something happening two weeks from now. This is a common phrase, so you'll hear and use it a lot when making plans.
再来週に会いましょう。
- English Hint
- Let's meet the week after next.
再来週の予定はどうですか？
- English Hint
- What are your plans for the week after next?
You can also use it with specific days of the week.
再来週の木曜日にプレゼンテーションがあります。
- English Hint
- The presentation is on Thursday the week after next.
§ Similar words and when to use this one vs alternatives
Understanding how 再来週 (sa-raishuu) fits into the bigger picture of Japanese time expressions for weeks is important. Let's break down the common terms:
- 今週 (konshuu): This week
This is the current week. Simple, direct. If something is happening now or in the next few days within the current seven-day period, you use 今週.
今週の太陽はとても暖かいです。
- English Hint
- The sun this week is very warm.
- 来週 (raishuu): Next week
This refers to the immediate week following the current one. This is probably the most frequently used of these terms for short-term planning.
来週、日本に行きます。
- English Hint
- I'm going to Japan next week.
- 再来週 (sa-raishuu): The week after next
As we've discussed, this is two weeks from the current week. Use it when you're looking a little further ahead than just next week.
再来週にテストがあります。
- English Hint
- There's a test the week after next.
- 先週 (senshuu): Last week
This refers to the week before the current one. Use this when talking about past events.
先週、映画を見ました。
- English Hint
- I watched a movie last week.
- 先先週 (sen-senshuu): The week before last
This is two weeks before the current week. It's the past equivalent of 再来週.
先先週の大雨はひどかったですね。
- English Hint
- The heavy rain the week before last was terrible, wasn't it?
When deciding which word to use, just think about how many weeks away (or in the past) the event is from the current week. It's a very logical system once you get the hang of it.

문법 패턴
혼동하기 쉬운
Often confused with '再来週' (the week after next) due to the similar character 来.
来週 specifically means 'next week'. 再来週 adds '再' to mean 'the week after next'.
来週の会議はありますか？ (Is there a meeting next week?)
Sometimes confused when trying to reference timeframes around 'next week' and 'the week after next'.
今週 means 'this week'. It's a common anchor for discussing future weeks.
今週中に終わらせたいです。 (I want to finish it this week.)
Confused when mixing up past and future timeframes. The character 先 indicates 'previous'.
先週 means 'last week'. It refers to a past timeframe, whereas 再来週 refers to a future timeframe.
先週は忙しかったです。 (I was busy last week.)
Confused because it refers to the 'next' unit of time, but specifically 'month' instead of 'week'.
来月 means 'next month'. While both use 来, 再来週 is about weeks, and 来月 is about months.
来月、日本へ行きます。 (I'm going to Japan next month.)
Sometimes confused by learners who are still solidifying basic time expressions. Tomorrow is a single day, not a week.
明日 means 'tomorrow'. It's a much shorter timeframe than 再来週, which is two weeks away.
明日は晴れるでしょう。 (It will probably be sunny tomorrow.)

팁
Basic Meaning
再来週 (saraishū) means the week after next. It's a very common phrase to refer to the week that is two weeks from now.
Breaking it Down
再 (sai) means 're-' or 'again'. 来 (rai) means 'next' or 'coming'. 週 (shū) means 'week'. So, literally, it's like 'again next week' which means the week after next.
Using with Days
You can combine it with days of the week, like 再来週の月曜日 (saraishū no getsuyōbi) for 'Monday of the week after next'.
Asking Questions
Use it when asking about future plans: 再来週の予定は？ (Saraishū no yotei wa?) 'What are your plans for the week after next?'
Responding to Questions
If someone asks, you can say: 再来週は忙しいです (Saraishū wa isogashii desu) 'I'm busy the week after next.'
No 'Next' Required
Unlike English 'the week after next week', in Japanese, 再来週 already implies 'next'. You don't need another 'next'.
Don't Confuse with 'Next Week'
Don't confuse 再来週 (saraishū - week after next) with 来週 (raishū - next week). The '再' makes a big difference.
Pronunciation Practice
Practice saying さらいしゅう (sa-rai-shū). The 'shū' part is a long vowel, so hold it a little longer. It's a common mistake for learners to shorten it.
Common Mistake
A common mistake is to say '次の来週' (tsugi no raishū) which is incorrect. Always use 再来週 (saraishū) for the week after next.
Calendar Context
When looking at a calendar, 来週 is the week immediately following the current week, and 再来週 is the one after that. Very straightforward.
