Simply asking 'This Friday' will open up the conversation to which Friday is actually being talked about. "This Friday?" will mean the upcoming Friday, if it is not the Friday coming up, they will say which one.
"Are you talking about this Friday or next Friday?"
:
Are you talking about - This is another way of saying, "Do you mean.."
This Friday - The Friday at the end of this week. Next Friday, the Friday of the following week.
"Are we meeting on Friday the 8th or the 15th?"
:
Are we meeting - Meaning to get together to eat, have a business meeting, etc.
By mentioning the dates you are able to accurately confirm the date of your meeting.
例文
"Are you talking about this Friday or next Friday?"
（あなたが言っているのは今週の金曜日それとも来週の金曜日？）
Are you talking about - これは、"Do you mean.."の別の言い方です
This Friday - 今週の金曜日です。"Next Friday"は来週の金曜日です。
例文
"Are we meeting on Friday the 8th or the 15th?"
（会うのは8日の金曜日、それとも15日の金曜日？）
Are we meeting - 会って食事をすること、ビジネスミーティングをすることなどを言います。
日付を言うことで、会う日を正確に確認することが出来ます。
This is a casual expression in American English. You could use this expression with friends, family or close colleagues. 'To mean' is the verb form of the noun 'meaning', which means 'a situation where order (or sense) arises from chaos (or nonsense).'
This is a very informal way of asking because you aren't using the full sentence. This is a very common form in American English. I hope that this helps. :)
Would you like to go for a drink this Friday or next?
Just to confirm, which Friday are we going out for drinks?
This could be confusing when asking the person which Friday because the person who asked would automatically be talking about the upcoming Friday when asking you out for a drink. If they meant next Friday they would have clearly stated so.
As you can see all three of these sentences have a similar structure and can be used interchangeably to have the same meaning. In the first example, we are just asking generally what Friday are they referring to whereas in the next two examples we are asking if its the Friday that is coming up this week or a Friday that is in the next week. We can use the words, "the following," or, "the next," to make this distinction.
Which Friday are you referring to? This Friday, or next?
May I know which Friday you're talking about? Would that be this Friday, or next Friday?
If someone has invited you somewhere on a Friday but you are unsure which Friday that is and want to ask them, you can say something like "Which Friday are you referring to? This Friday, or next?" or "May I know which Friday you're talking about? Would that be this Friday, or next Friday?".
Are you referring to this coming Friday or Friday week?
It is always very important to confirm a date that you have set up. Even if it is a personal date, it is better to double-check that you have the right day noted. To avoid confusion, you could add the date as well.
In the first sentence, we are asking the listener which Friday they are referring to as a confirmation. "Mean" here means "referring to" or "talking about"
In the second sentence, we are asking the listener which Friday he or she is talking about. We can say "this coming Friday" which means the Friday that is literally coming. "Friday week" means Friday of the following week. We can also say "Friday of next week."
When someone says "Let's get a drink on Friday", you want to ask which Friday they are talking about. In that case, you can try one of the above-suggested example sentences which may be appropriate for any given situation. There are always a variety of ways to respond to someone or make a comment - depending on the context and other factors such as nationality, appropriacy and body language.
Which Friday are you talking about?
（どの金曜日の話してるの？）
this coming Friday/this Friday (今週/直近の金曜日）
Friday next week（来週の金曜日）
分かりにくい場合は～日の金曜日のように言ってみてはどうでしょうか。
I'm talking about Friday the １５th (私は１５日の金曜日のことを言ってるよ）

"Which Friday is best" - This would be asking what Friday is best for them so you could both organise which Friday was the best to have a drink.

If a friend tells you that you two should meet to have a drink on Friday, you can ask, "Which Friday?", to verify the Friday being referred to by your friend. You can use this question to give your friend freedom to pick any upcoming Friday for this meeting.
If a friend tells you that you two should meet to have a drink on Friday, you can also ask, "This Friday?". This question shows that you are not sure which Friday is being referred to by your friend. "Yes, this Friday.", or, "No, next Friday.", are possible responses that your friend could then give to verify which Friday is being referred to. This question refers to the closest upcoming Friday to the current day. For example, if this question is asked on Saturday, June 1, then the Friday being referred to would be Friday, June 7.
"Next Friday?", is a question that is similar to, "This Friday?", because it shows that you are not completely sure which Friday your friend is referring to. By using the word, "next", you are asking about the Friday that is two Fridays away from the current day. For example, if this question is asked on Thursday, June 6, then Friday, June 14 is being referred to.

"Next Friday?"（次の次の金曜日ですか）は "This Friday?" とよく似ています。これも、「いつの金曜日を指しているのかよく分からない」と伝えます。ここでは、"next" を使って、「次の次の金曜日」を指しています。例えば、この質問を6月6日の火曜日にしたなら、6月14日の金曜日を指します。
