Basic grammar help again

Still_studying · 31 Jan 2008

How would you say: "This Saturday is my 15th birthday" ?
Would it be something like:
このこようびにわたしのじゅうごさいのたんじょうびです。
or
このどようびはわたしのじゅうごさいのたんじょうびです。
or
どようびにわたしのじゅうごさいのたんじゅうびです。
I think it's the last one, but I'm really confused. I'm probably mixing in English grammar in there...:shy:

The second one is correct, but using こんど instead of この makes it more natural.
こんどのどようびはわたしのじゅうごさいのたんじょうびです。

どようび「に」 does not fit たんじょうびです - に can be used to indicate when something happens or someone does something.
i.e.
どようびにたんじょうびパーティをひらきます。
(I'm going to have a birthday party on Saturday.)
