المعنى
Planning to meet the next day.
خلفية ثقافية
The concept of 'Insha'Allah' (God willing) is often implied or explicitly added (ፈቃደ እግዚአብሔር ከሆነ - Feqade Egziabher kehone) when making plans for tomorrow. In the capital, 'Chaw' (from Ciao) is almost always used before 'Nege ingenagn'. Farewells are often longer and involve multiple blessings. 'Nege ingenagn' might be just the start of a 2-minute goodbye. Punctuality is becoming more strictly observed in Addis, so 'Nege ingenagn' is now often followed by a specific 'Se'at' (hour).
Add 'Ishi'
Starting with 'Ishi' (Okay) makes the phrase sound more natural and agreeable.
Check the Day
Ensure you actually mean 'tomorrow' and not 'later today' (behwala).
