Questions & Answers about Vi ses på lørdag!
Why is it vi ses and not vi ser?
Because at ses is a fixed Danish expression meaning to see each other / to meet.
- vi ser = we see
- vi ses = we see each other / we’ll be seeing each other
So in Vi ses på lørdag!, Danish uses the natural expression vi ses rather than the more literal we see.
Does Vi ses literally mean we see each other?
Yes, more or less. Literally, it is close to we see each other, but in real use it often works like:
- See you
- We’ll see each other
- See you later
So even though the literal grammar is plural (we), it is very commonly used the same way English uses See you when saying goodbye.
Why is it på lørdag?
In Danish, på is commonly used with days and specific points in time like this:
- på mandag = on Monday
- på fredag = on Friday
- på lørdag = on Saturday
So Vi ses på lørdag! is the natural way to say See you on Saturday!
