"See you this evening!"

Translation: Tot vanavond!

[SagarChauh16]

Whys "Tot ziens vanavond?" incorrect?

[Rocteur]

To me this looks like, see you later this evening.

[DebF26]

If you look back at what we've previously been taught - or look at the drop downs, See you = Tot Ziens. So why don't I need to say 'Tot ZIENS vanavond'? Is the ziens just assumed, in a form of shorthand?

[lonenfour]

Tot means until. So I'm guessing that "tot ziens" literal meaning may be "until (i) see (you (again)) so, "tot vanavond" literal meaning might be "till tonight".

Why is "Zie jij deze avond" incorrect?

[Simius]

That would mean "Do you see this evening?".

The English phrase "see you" (short for "I will see you") is translated to the Dutch farewell "tot ziens" or, if it refers to a specific time, "tot <time>". Literally, this just means "until this evening".

Can " Zie U/jullie/je/jij vanavond " be correct?
