Contexto cultural

Saying goodbye is rarely a quick affair. Even after saying 'Vidimo se kasnije', people often continue talking for another 10 minutes by the door or car. In coastal regions, 'Vidimo se' is often replaced by 'Adio' or 'Ćao', reflecting historical Italian influence. The word 'Bok' is almost always used alongside 'Vidimo se'. It serves as both 'Hi' and 'Bye'. Using 'Vidimo se kasnije' with a client can signal that you've moved from a formal relationship to a more 'partnership' based one.
