Signification
An informal way to say goodbye.
Contexte culturel
In the capital, 'Տեսնվենք' is often accompanied by a light touch on the shoulder or a double cheek kiss among friends. In Glendale or Los Angeles, 'Tesnvienk' is often mixed with English: 'Okay, see you, տեսնվենք!' In villages, saying 'Տեսնվենք' might lead to another 10 minutes of conversation as the host tries to give you fruit or bread for the road. On Armenian social media, 'Տեսնվենք' is often used as a comment on a friend's photo to suggest a meetup.
Add 'Jan'
Adding 'ջան' (jan) after the phrase—'Տեսնվենք, ջան'—makes it much warmer and more Armenian.
Don't be too formal
If you say 'Ցտեսություն' to a close friend, they might think you are angry with them. Stick to 'Տեսնվենք.'
