Is 下个星期三 (xiàge xīngqīsān) = "next Wednesday" ambiguous like in English? In English, we tend to avoid saying &quot;next Wednesday&quot;, etc., because it's ambiguous.  It humorously arises in a Seinfeld quote:

Sid: No, next Wednesday, [the] week after this Wednesday.
Jerry: But the Wednesday two days from now is the next Wednesday.
Sid: If I meant this Wednesday, I would have said this Wednesday. It's the
week after this Wednesday.

Question: Is 下个星期三 ambiguous like in English?
Basically, I wonder if 下个星期三 might be unclear about whether it refers to &quot;the Wednesday two days from now&quot; or &quot;the week after this Wednesday&quot;.
In English, we instead say &quot;Wednesday&quot; or &quot;this Wednesday&quot; which both mean the subsequent Wednesday, or even &quot;Wednesday week&quot; which means the week after this Wednesday.
下个星期三 would only refer to Wednesday, next week. There is no way you would use 下个星期三 to refer to Wednesday this week, like the one that is coming two days from now, that would just be 星期三.

There's a question on Baidu Zhidao that, kind of(?), asks this.


  下个星期三要多少天?


with answers like:


  8天


and


  七天 


Perhaps Larry David would be disappointed though.
