[quote=MAY001,228990]Usually, we say 再见(Zai 4 Jian 4) which means 'See You' literally. 再means 'Once Again', 'One More Time' here, and 见 means 'See', 'Meet' literally. So 再见 actually means '(Will/Wish to) see you again'. We can also say 明天见 (Ming 2 Tian 1 Jian 4) which means 'See You Tomorrow'. For example, when I want to say goodbye to my colleagues, I can say 明天见. Beijing people may say 明儿见 (Ming 2 Er Jian 4) instead of 明天见. But 明儿 is never clearly said due to the Beijing dialect's retroflex final. [/quote]
