Meaning
Arranging a future meeting.
Cultural Background
Norwegians value their free time. Saying 'Vi ses i morgen' at 4:00 PM is a clear signal that the workday is over and personal time has begun. In Norwegian flat hierarchies, you say this to your boss just as easily as to your peers. There is no need for a more formal 'Goodbye, Sir'. The 'Takk for i dag' (Thanks for today) + 'Vi ses i morgen' combo is the 'gold standard' for leaving a social gathering. In Norway, ending a text thread with 'Sees!' is very common and prevents the 'endless loop' of polite closing messages.
The Silent G
Don't pronounce the 'g' in 'morgen'. It should sound like 'mor-en'.
Don't forget the 'i'
English speakers often say 'See you tomorrow' without a preposition. In Norwegian, you MUST include 'i'.
