How to Say “Again Very Soon” in French

à très bientôt
The English phrase "again very soon" can be translated into French as à très bientôt.
À très bientôt is a friendly way to say goodbye when you expect to see someone again in a short amount of time. It is often used when ending a phone call or a casual meeting.

Which one should you use?

While à bientôt means "see you soon", à très bientôt is more emphatic and implies a shorter or more certain interval between meetings than the standard version.

Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?

À très bientôt is commonly used in friendly, informal or semi-formal contexts.

Did you know?

  • The word très in à très bientôt is a distant relative of the English prefix 'trans-'. Both words share a root meaning 'through' or 'across'.
  • If you find yourself in a situation where you are seeing someone later the same day, you might use à tout à l'heure instead of à très bientôt.
  • In certain very formal business settings, using à très bientôt can sometimes feel almost too intimate, as it implies a level of social closeness that certain professional boundaries might not allow.

Examples in context

  • Merci pour l'invitation, à très bientôt !
    Thanks for the invitation, see you very soon!
  • Merci pour l'aide, à très bientôt !
    Thanks for the help, see you very soon!
  • Je pars, mais à très bientôt.
    I'm leaving, but see you very soon.
  • On se voit demain, à très bientôt !
    We'll see each other tomorrow, see you very soon!
