Questions & Answers about Nos vemos frente a la biblioteca a las seis.

What does nos vemos literally mean, and why is it used like “See you”?

Literally, nos vemos means “we see ourselves / we see each other.”

• nos = “ourselves / each other” (1st person plural reflexive/reciprocal pronoun)
• vemos = “we see” (present tense of ver)

So the literal idea is “we (will) see each other,” which in natural English is just “See you” or “See you then.”

Spanish often uses the present tense for the near future, so nos vemos typically means “we’ll see each other (then)”, not just right now. It’s a very common informal and neutral way to say goodbye with a plan to meet again.
