Questions & Answers about Salut ! À demain !

I thought Salut meant "Hi", but here it is translated as "Bye". Can it mean both?
Yes! Salut is a very useful informal word that works for both greetings and farewells. You can use it to say "Hi" when you meet a friend, and "Bye" when you leave.
Why is there an À in front of demain? Doesn't demain just mean "tomorrow"?
Yes, demain means "tomorrow". In English we say "See you tomorrow", but in French the pattern is to use À (which often means "to" or "at") plus the time you will see the person. So À demain literally means "To tomorrow", but translates as "See you tomorrow".
Can I use this À pattern with other days of the week?
Absolutely! This is a very common formula. If you want to say "See you on Tuesday", you simply say À mardi. Just put À before the day or time you will see the person next.
Can I use this phrase to say goodbye to anyone, like a shopkeeper or a teacher?
You can use À demain with anyone if you are seeing them the next day, but Salut is strictly informal. You should only use Salut with friends, family, or people your own age. For a shopkeeper or teacher, it is better to say Au revoir ! À demain ! instead.
