You will say goodbye with a time attached and tell a casual “see you” from a real suggestion to meet.

The idea

Görüşürüz means “we will see each other”: gör- (see) + -üş- (each other) + -ür- (aorist) + -üz (we). Put a time word in front and the goodbye carries a time: yarın görüşürüz, pazartesi görüşürüz, haftaya görüşürüz. In a formal setting, görüşmek üzere closes a call or an email.

Examples

  • Yarın okulda görüşürüz.See you at school tomorrow.
  • Pazartesi görüşürüz, Elif.See you Monday, Elif.
  • Şimdi çıkıyorum, sonra görüşürüz.I'm heading out now, see you later.
  • Haftaya görüşürüz.See you next week.Haftaya is hafta (week) plus the dative -ya, literally “to the week”; the whole word is the usual way to say next week.

  • Yarın görüşelim mi?Shall we meet tomorrow?Görüşelim is a suggestion (“let's meet”), and mi makes it a real question; görüşürüz would only say that you will meet.
  • Görüşmek üzere.Until we meet again.Görüşmek üzere is the formal closing you hear on the phone or read at the end of an email; görüşmek stays an infinitive, so it has no person ending.
  • Akşama görüşürüz.See you this evening.
  • Yine görüşürüz.We'll see each other again.

Watch out

Görüşürüz is a warm goodbye, not an appointment. To arrange a real meeting, suggest it with görüşelim (“let's meet”): Yarın görüşelim mi? Someone who only says sonra görüşürüz has not agreed on anything yet.

Try it yourself

  1. Suggest a plan, “let's meet tomorrow”: Yarın ___.

    Show answer or example answer

    görüşelim

    görüşelim: you are proposing a plan, so you use the suggestion ending -elim (“let's”); after the front vowel ü the vowel is e.

  2. Say the casual goodbye “see you later”: Sonra ___.

    Show answer or example answer

    görüşürüz

    görüşürüz: the casual “see you” is the aorist with -üz (“we”); after ö every ending carries the rounded front vowel ü.

  3. Complete the formal farewell “until we meet again”: Görüşmek ___.

    Show answer or example answer

    üzere

    üzere: görüşmek üzere is the fixed formal phrase; görüşmek stays an infinitive and üzere follows it as a separate word.

  4. Turn the suggestion into a question, “shall we meet tomorrow?”: Yarın görüşelim ___?

    Show answer or example answer

    mi

    mi: the question particle stands apart and follows the last vowel of görüşelim, which is i, so it is mi, never mı or mu.

Use it today

Write four goodbyes with different time words (tomorrow, Monday, next week, this evening). Then write one message that really proposes a time with görüşelim mi?
