A2informal

Possiamo rivederci presto?

Can we see each other again soon?

Pronunciation

pos-SIA-mo ri-ve-DER-ci PRES-to — stress on 'sia-', 'der-', 'pres-'. 'Rivederci' has four syllables.

When to use it

At the end of a successful first date — expressing desire to meet again without being overly direct or pressuring.

What it means

'Possiamo' = can we (first person plural of 'potere'). 'Rivederci' = to see each other again — 'rivedere' (to see again) with the reflexive 'ci' (each other). 'Presto' = soon. The phrasing is hopeful but not demanding.

Variations

Quando sei libero/a di nuovo?

When are you free again?

More practical — shows genuine intention to arrange something

Stasera è stata bellissima.

Tonight was wonderful.

A lovely way to close the date — express appreciation before suggesting again

Mi piacerebbe vederti ancora.

I'd like to see you again.

Direct and sincere — uses the conditional for politeness

Mini Dialogue

— È stata una serata fantastica. Possiamo rivederci presto? — Sì, molto volentieri. È stata davvero bella. — Quando sei libera? — Il prossimo weekend potrei essere libera. — Perfetto. Ti mando un messaggio domani.

Cultural Note

Italians generally prefer to suggest a second date in person rather than via message — it shows confidence and genuine enthusiasm. Following up with a text message the next day (not immediately after) is considered thoughtful and measured.
