Signification
A common way to say goodbye informally.
Contexte culturel
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.
The 'Se' Rule
Always include 'se'. If you forget it, you're saying 'We see later' which sounds like you're looking for something lost.
Don't be too literal
You can say 'Vidimo se kasnije' even if you don't have a specific plan to meet. It's a social lubricant.
