How to Say “I Hope to See You Soon” in French

By •
j'espère vous revoir bientôt
The English phrase 'I hope to see you soon' is translated into French as j'espère vous revoir bientôt.
This phrase is a polite expression used to indicate that you want to meet someone again in the near future.

What does it mean word for word?

The phrase literally translates to 'I hope to see you again soon', where the verb revoir specifically means 'to see again'.

Which one should you use?

While j'espère vous voir bientôt is grammatically correct, it is much more natural in French to use revoir (to see again) when expressing the desire to meet someone you have already met.

How does it change in a sentence?

The form you choose depends on who you are addressing. Use j'espère vous revoir bientôt when addressing a single person formally or when addressing more than one person (plural). If you are speaking to a friend or someone you know well, you should replace vous with te to say j'espère te revoir bientôt.

Did you know?

  • While English speakers might say 'I want to see you soon', using the French verb 'vouloir' (to want) can sound uncomfortably demanding or aggressive.
  • The word bientôt is a combination of the words bien, meaning 'well' or 'very', and tôt, meaning 'early'.
