Depending on the level of politeness required, you can use casual versions with friends or more formal versions in professional settings.
What does it mean word for word?
The core of the phrase is また明日, which literally means "again tomorrow". Often, the conversational transition では (meaning "well then" or "so") or its more colloquial form じゃあ is added to the beginning.
Which one should you use?
The phrase また can be used on its own to mean "see you" or "see you later" when the specific time of the next meeting is unknown. To add a sense of softness or friendliness, you can use また明日ね, which functions like "See you tomorrow, okay?"
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
For casual situations with friends or peers, use また明日 or じゃあ、また明日. The form （じゃあ）また明日ね is also a friendly, informal option. For polite or business settings, use また明日お会いしましょう or the even more formal （では）また明日お会いしましょう.
How does it change in a sentence?
The particle では (or the colloquial じゃあ) acts as a transition at the start of the phrase. The sentence-ending particle ね can be added to the end of また明日ね to soften the tone and make it sound more friendly.
Did you know?
- The phrase さようなら is often taught as a general 'goodbye', but because it can imply a permanent or long-term separation, また明日 is much more common for daily interactions.
- In a professional setting, instead of saying また明日, colleagues often use お疲れ様です ('Thank you for your hard work') as a way to signal the end of the day and imply 'see you tomorrow'.
- The word 明日 (tomorrow) can be pronounced as 'ashita' in casual speech or 'myō-nichi' in very formal, almost poetic or highly professional contexts.
Examples in context
- すみません、お疲れさまでした。また明日。Excuse me, thank you for your hard work. See you tomorrow.
