see you when I see you

Absolutely useless for a phrasebook. --WikiTiki89 14:57, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Keep (but not necessarily as a phrasebook entry) as I think this is idiomatic, it goes beyond the literal "I will see you whenever it so happens that I will see you". It's more of a statement of intent; "I have no plans to see you but I expect we will meet again". It's not a clear-cut no-doubter but for me still a keeper.

Like! Er... I mean keep per fun-loving MG. DAVilla 22:34, 11 November 2012 (UTC)

Keep as idiomatic, but remove phrasebook designation. —Μετάknowledge^{discuss/deeds} 23:31, 12 November 2012 (UTC)

I don't think this is even a term. It is just someone saying "See you... " but when he can't think of whether to say "tomorrow", "next week", or "next year", he says "when I see you". --WikiTiki89 07:44, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

• Keep. --Dan Polansky (talk) 20:38, 27 May 2013 (UTC)

kept but moved out of the Phrasebook. -- Liliana • 14:31, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

• Really? It seems obviously a phrasebook entry. It is used only in phrasebook-type situations of parting. DCDuring TALK 14:49, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
  • But it is idiomatic, whereas the Phrasebook is intended for non-idiomatic phrases. -- Liliana • 14:52, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
    • It is only "idiomatic" because it is elliptical (for "(I will) see you when I see you"). Are all elliptical expressions automatically idiomatic? DCDuring TALK 16:10, 30 June 2013 (UTC)
