ci sentiamo

we will talk soon

Promising to call or speak later.

🌍

문화적 배경

Italians often use 'ci sentiamo' as a 'soft' goodbye. It's considered slightly cold to just say 'Ciao' without any promise of future contact. In the South, 'ci sentiamo' might be followed by 'fatti sentire' (make yourself heard), which is a warmer, more insistent invitation to call. In modern Italian startups and tech companies, 'ci aggiorniamo' (we'll update each other) is often preferred over 'ci sentiamo' to sound more professional. Younger Italians use 'ci sentiamo' even when they only communicate via Instagram DMs or TikTok tags. The 'hearing' is now purely metaphorical.

🎯

The 'Vague' Promise

If someone says 'ci sentiamo' without a specific day, don't take it as a firm commitment. It's often just a polite way to end the conversation.

⚠️

Don't forget the 'Ci'

Saying just 'sentiamo' sounds like you are waiting to hear a noise. The 'ci' makes it social!

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

It's better to use 'ci vediamo' (see you) for physical meetings, but 'ci sentiamo' is okay if you plan to talk on the phone before you meet.

It's mostly informal to neutral. In very formal settings, use more specific verbs like 'La chiamerò'.

Originally yes, but now it includes WhatsApp, Telegram, and any form of non-visual communication.

'Ci sentiamo' (present) is more common and feels more immediate. 'Ci sentiremo' (future) is slightly more formal or implies a longer timeframe.

Yes! It works for one person or a whole group of people.

Simply say 'Certo, a presto!' or 'Sì, ci sentiamo!'

It's just not as idiomatic. Italians focus on the 'hearing' aspect of the connection.

In casual emails, yes. In formal ones, no.

It's an impersonal version of the same phrase, very common in casual speech.

If you have a friendly relationship, yes. If it's a very strict corporate environment, maybe not.
