Significado
A casual farewell, implying seeing someone again in the future.
Contexto cultural
In France, 'À la prochaine' is often the final word in a long departure ritual that includes multiple goodbyes. Quebecers might use 'À la prochaine' but are also very fond of 'Bonjour' as a way to say goodbye (meaning 'Have a good day'). Belgians use 'À la prochaine' similarly to the French, but you might also hear 'À tantôt' which can mean 'see you later today'. In Francophone Africa, French is often mixed with local languages. 'À la prochaine' is common in professional urban settings.
The 'Fois' Ghost
Always remember that 'prochaine' is feminine because of the invisible word 'fois'.
Not for Strangers
Don't use it with someone you just met and will likely never see again; it sounds a bit presumptuous.
