How do you say "See You Later" in Japanese??

It's not easy to retain vocabulary and expressions when you're studying a language, and it's especially difficult to get words out on the spot when you're having conversations. I hope these weekly posts could be good practice for your Japanese, and let's take it one word at a time.

The question for today is: How do you say "See You Later" in Japanese??


The answer is...












じゃあね [Jyaane]

or

またね [Matane]


You can drop the ね [ne] to make it more casual than it already is, but take note that it can sound disrespectful depending on who you're talking to.

You can also combine the two じゃあまた [well see you later]



Writer's note: Sayonara is Goodbye in Japanese, but I don't think I've ever used it my whole life. It's not appropriate to use at work or for friends so it's pretty inconvenient.
