Ci sentiamo presto?

We'll be in touch soon?

Pronunciation

ci sen-TIA-mo PRES-to — stress on 'tia-' and 'pres-'. 'Sentiamo' has three syllables: sen-TIA-mo.

When to use it

A warm and slightly open-ended goodbye — confirming you will be in contact without being too prescriptive about how or when.

What it means

'Ci sentiamo' = we'll be in touch / we'll talk (literally 'we hear each other'). 'Sentirsi' in Italian means both to hear and to be in contact with — covering calls, messages, all forms of connection. 'Presto' = soon. The question mark makes it a gentle confirmation.

Variations

Ti scrivo domani.

I'll message you tomorrow.

Specific commitment — removes ambiguity and shows clear intention

Non sparire!

Don't disappear!

Playful and slightly vulnerable — implies you want to stay connected

È stato davvero bello. A presto.

It's been really lovely. Until soon.

Clean and warm close — 'a presto' is Italian's beloved near-future farewell

Mini Dialogue

Cultural Note

The Italian goodbye culture is warm and extended — 'a presto', 'ci sentiamo', 'stammi bene' — Italians rarely end a pleasant encounter with a single word. The farewell is its own small ritual, and getting it right (warm, definitive, forward-looking) is part of the romantic script.
