معنی
Saying goodbye with a future meeting
زمینه فرهنگی
Norwegians are known for being direct. 'Vi sees senere' is a way to be polite without being overly emotional or dramatic during a goodbye. In Norwegian offices, hierarchy is flat. You can say 'Vi sees senere' to your CEO just as easily as to a colleague. In social media and texting, 'Sees' is often used as a sign-off, similar to 'Best' or 'Cheers' but with the intent of meeting. In smaller towns, 'Vi sees senere' might be followed by a specific location, as people are more likely to run into each other at the only local store.
The 'S' is Key
Always remember the '-s'. Without it, you're just 'looking' at something later, not 'meeting' someone.
Don't be too formal
Avoid 'Farvel'. Stick to 'Vi sees' or 'Ha det' for 99% of your goodbyes.
