뜻
A standard way to say goodbye.
문화적 배경
Saying 'До встречи' implies a level of commitment. If you say it, you are acknowledging that the relationship is ongoing. It's warmer than a formal goodbye. In Russian business, 'До встречи' is used once a certain level of trust is built. It signals that you are no longer just 'clients' but 'partners'. Russians never say goodbye or shake hands across a threshold (doorway). You must either both be inside or both be outside before saying 'До встречи'. On Telegram, 'До встречи' is often shortened to 'До встр' in very casual typing, though this is mostly among Gen Z.
The Safe Choice
If you aren't sure if 'Пока' is too casual or 'До свидания' is too formal, 'До встречи' is almost always safe.
The 'V' Sound
Make sure to pronounce the 'в' as an 'f' sound. Saying 'V-strechi' with a hard 'V' is a common beginner mistake.

Eye Contact
When saying 'До встречи', a brief moment of eye contact is more important than a smile in Russian culture.
