See you later.
colloquialcommunicationtime
How it's used
Functions as a casual, versatile way to say goodbye when a specific time has not been set. It implies a vague future meeting rather than a firm appointment. Use it to soften a departure without committing to a precise schedule.
Examples
Let's meet later.
Common mistake
Avoid using this in formal business settings or when you have a specific time arranged, as it sounds too noncommittal. For a set time, use a specific phrase like 下晝見 instead.
