We say
This day next year.
This day next week.
What do you say to talk about something that will happen 'this day three weeks from now' ?
Is there a shorter way to to say it, like the above sentences?
What if you say the day like Monday? As in:
'Three weeks from now on Monday.'
I would say
A week today
Three weeks today
but looking on GloWbE, it's pretty clear that these are British (and Commonwealth) English. In American English, the equivalent is
A week from today
Three weeks from today.
(I would never say these).
In British English we can also say
A week next Tuesday
and even
Tuesday week
but I don't think Americans say these much.
I'm not sure about
A year today
but I think it works - certainly there are a few instances of this in GloWbE.
So to answer your question directly:
Three weeks today (BrE)
Three weeks from today (AmE)
In three weeks' time (both).
"Three weeks today" should do the trick. You don't need to say it's the same day, because if it's in exactly three weeks then it has to be the same day. It means "three weeks from today", of course, but the "from" is often elided in colloquial English.
