"hasta luego" and "hasta pronto"

Question

when is used "hasta luego" and when "hasta pronto" ? in everyday conversation which is more used ?

Answer 1

Probably about the same as - see you later and see you soon -

I wonder why some people can't see things that are identical in their own language. - lazarus1907, Jan 26, 2011

maybe because english is not my own language and prefer to double check - polita08, Jan 26, 2011

Good answer polita08. It is important that we be able to ask a question without worrying about being judged. Otherwise this forum does not serve its purpose. - drewrywpg, Jan 26, 2011

A little late but those phrases do not exist in Bulgarian? - chileno, Jun 25, 2014

If people aren't made to feel welcome on this site then it's going to end up as just a few regulars chatting amongst themselves! Very boring! The nuances between 'hasta pronto' send 'hasta leugo' maybe clear to lazarus but Bulgarian is very different! - pml222, Jun 26, 2014

Answer 2

There can be a slight difference of nuance, at least in Mexico. If you have a definite plan to meet someone, you can use either phrase. If you have no idea if or when you might see someone again, you would use only Hasta luego.

Thats my understanding as well... - kerflop, Jan 26, 2011

Sí, estoy completamente de acuerdo. Julian :) - FELIZ77, Jun 26, 2014

Answer 3

Maybe it is a cultural or regional issue.

Here in Mexico City, I'd say we seldom use "hasta pronto", but we rather use "Hasta luego" or more commonly: "Nos vemos" (see you).

Answer 4

Nothing changes.

Luego and pronto is the same in this occasion.

I gree whith Kiwi-Girl: see you later and see you soon.

Pd: Your user name is funny, polita xD

The word most used is "Hasta luego" because i think what is more easy to pronounce.

Still new at spanish

Answer 6

Hi Polita and welcome to the forum,

I think they are interchangeable .

Saludos, Chica

Answer 7

I think either is OK, but if you've really had enough of them and don't wish to see them again use

hasta la vista, baby

.

hehe Good one! Only make sure you pronounce it with a hard "h" and in an "Austrian" accent. - Findy, Jun 25, 2014

Answer 8

When using spanish i use Hasta Luego amongst friends, when im just saying bye or cya later as in English, I use Hasta Pronto when im saying I will see someone soon Pronto to me has a slight bit more urgency to it "Pronto pronto"
