Questions & Answers about Vi ses i morgen!
Why does the verb ses end in an -s here?
In Danish, adding an -s to the end of a verb often makes it reciprocal, meaning the action goes both ways between people (doing something to each other). Here, the root verb se (to see) becomes ses (to see each other).
The English translation says 'See you!', but doesn't Vi mean 'We'?
Yes, Vi ses literally means 'We see each other'. However, it is the standard, everyday way to say 'See you' or 'See you later' in Danish.
Why do we use i before morgen?
The phrase i morgen translates exactly to 'tomorrow'. Although morgen means 'morning' on its own, putting the preposition i in front of it creates a fixed time expression for 'tomorrow'.
Is ses in the present tense or future tense here?
It is in the present tense, but just like in English, Danish frequently uses the present tense to talk about scheduled future events, especially when a future time word like i morgen is already in the sentence.
