Learn Romanian: Pe mâine, Maria! - See you tomorrow, Maria!

You're right! Pe usually means "on" (like pe masă - on the table) or marks a person as a direct object. However, when you put pe right before a time word like mâine (tomorrow), it creates a set phrase that means "Until [time]" or "See you [time]".

Can I use this same pe structure with other days or times?

Absolutely! This is the standard pattern for saying when you will see someone next. You can use it for days of the week, like pe luni (see you on Monday), or with other time expressions, like pe curând (see you soon) and pe diseară (see you this evening).

Why isn't there a word for "see" or "you" in this sentence?

While English says "See you tomorrow," Romanian uses a shorter phrase that literally means "on tomorrow" or "until tomorrow." If you want to use a verb, you can say ne vedem mâine (we see each other tomorrow), but pe mâine is much more common and natural for a quick goodbye.
