What does it mean word for word?
The core phrase また明日 is composed of mata (again) and ashita (tomorrow).
Which one should you use?
The form また is a shorter way to say "see you" or "until next time" when the specific time (like tomorrow) is not mentioned. Adding the particle ね at the end makes the phrase sound friendly and casual, often used with friends or family. Using では instead of じゃあ makes the phrase more formal and suitable for professional or polite settings.
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
The form また明日お会いしましょう is a highly polite way to express the intention of meeting, used in very formal business or respectful social contexts. For a friendly and casual tone, often used with friends or family, you can use （じゃあ）また明日ね.
Did you know?
- If you are leaving a workplace, you would rarely use the phrase また明日 to your boss. Instead, the standard professional etiquette is to say お先に失礼します (I am leaving before you), which functions as the functional equivalent of a parting phrase.
- In Japanese, the word さようなら (sayonara) is often avoided when one intends to say 'see you tomorrow'. Using さようなら can carry a heavy, final weight, sometimes implying a permanent farewell or a long separation.
- The casual じゃあ (jaa) is actually a contraction of では (de wa). This is similar to how 'gonna' functions in English, moving from a formal grammatical structure to a clipped, spoken version.
Examples in context
- じゃあ、また明日！Well then, see you tomorrow!
