Nos vemos después

Question

I have heard "nos vemos" a lot, and "nos vemos más tarde" but today at work someone leaving, a busboy, said "no vemos después" to me. Looking on google I see that it is being used. Is this correct usage? Gracias.

Answer 1

Yep me too. Things like that happen to me all the time.

Today someone at the gym asked me.

¿Viene aquí muy seguida?"

Well of course understood the :"Viene aquí muy ..." part but not the use of "seguida" So I said "¿Manda?" He repeated the same thing.

So I said "No entiendo el uso de la palabra "seguida".

To my surprise this guy spoke perfect English and said "muy seguida" means "very often". (Now I may have the "seguida" wrong)

I said is it the same as "muy a menudo" or "muy frecuentemente"?

He said "Yea it's the same thing"

First time I remember hearing "seguida" used like this (or the 1st time I have admitted I didn't understand this use)

So later I made a dictionary and internet search and can not find any reference to "seguida" and "often"

Well "Sheily" answered your question -- just wanted to let you know I experience word construction I don't understand all the time; which are not explained in the dictionary.

I've heard this a lot, too, but w/seguido not seguida. You'll find reference to "seguido" as "often" in SD dictionary and WR. Again, I think it's a Central American thing. - alba3, Aug 9, 2010

so does that mean the "muy seguido" can't mean "very fast" or "very quickly"? - jeezzle, Aug 9, 2010

thank you so much "alba". I must have changed the "o" to a "a" in my head by the time I got home. It all makes sense now. Cool! - Daniel, Aug 9, 2010

@Jeezle: No. "Muy seguido" only means very often. - Gekkosan, Aug 10, 2010

Answer 2

In my experience, yes, it is very commonly used, much more so than, "no vemos más tarde".

Agreed, I've heard it a lot. It's very commonly used (at least among Mexicans). - alba3, Aug 9, 2010

Answer 3

Jeezzle asked:

so does that mean the "muy seguido" can't mean "very fast" or "very quickly"?

I think you mean "en seguida" which means "right away" or "at once" or "real fast".

I am sure you know that this is used so much it is also now one word "enseguida".

I do, but seguida is the word that is locked in that phrase, seguida, which means "in succesion" or "folliowing so I would assume that muy seguido would be like "very in succesion: ie very fast. but I guess not, then. - jeezzle, Aug 9, 2010

I am not sure ... about almost anything. Help mister wizard ..... - Daniel, Aug 9, 2010

"en seguida" means right away. "muy seguido" means very often. Small detail, big difference. - Gekkosan, Aug 10, 2010
