nõustamiseni

nõustamiseni is an Estonian word that translates to "until we meet again" or "see you later" in English. It is a common and friendly way to say goodbye in the Estonian language. The word is a compound of "nõustu" meaning "agree" or "consent" and "seni" meaning "until." In essence, it implies an agreement or understanding to see each other again in the future.

The phrase is used in various contexts, from informal conversations between friends to more formal goodbyes. It carries a sense of pleasant anticipation for a future encounter and is considered a warm and polite closing. It is not typically used for final farewells, but rather for situations where a reunion is expected. The usage is similar to English phrases like "see you soon" or "until next time."

nõustamiseni can be used by anyone in Estonia and is a widely understood and appreciated form of parting. Its prevalence highlights the importance of politeness and continued connection in Estonian social interactions.
