How to say “see you tomorrow” in Spanish
"Hasta mañana" is the most common, neutral way to say "see you tomorrow" in Spanish, and it works with friends, coworkers and strangers alike. In Latin America you'll also hear "nos vemos mañana" (literally "we see each other tomorrow"), which sounds a little more relaxed and friendly. Both are used everywhere in the Spanish-speaking world, including Spain.
How to pronounce “Hasta mañana”
- The h in hasta is silent, so the word starts with a clear 'ah' sound: AHS-tah.
- The ñ sounds like the 'ny' in 'canyon', so mañana is mah-NYAH-nah, never 'mah-NAH-nah'.
- Every a is a short, open 'ah' as in 'father'; don't turn the final a into a lazy 'uh'.
What it literally means
Hasta means "until" (it comes from Arabic ḥattà), so hasta mañana is literally "until tomorrow." Mañana comes from Latin mane, "in the morning": people first said "at an early hour" to mean the next morning, and the word gradually came to mean "tomorrow" as well.
