Significado
Informal way to say goodbye.
Contexto cultural
Danes often repeat goodbyes multiple times as they leave (the 'Danish goodbye'). You might hear 'Hej hej, vi ses, hej!' Even in professional emails, 'Vi ses' is common if you have a meeting scheduled later that day. On platforms like Messenger or Instagram, it is often abbreviated to 'vses' or just 'ses'.
The 'S' is Key
Always remember the 's'. Without it, you're just saying 'We see', which sounds incomplete to a Dane.
The Double Goodbye
Danes often say 'Hej hej' followed by 'Vi ses'. It's a very friendly way to leave.
