Usage notes

Similar to cases like chào buổi sáng, hẹn gặp lại is used more as a translation of the English phrase see you later than an actual Vietnamese phrase. More natural equivalent expressions would be gặp (lại) sau nhé/nha or simply sau nhé/nha.
For the casual English see you, expressions such as chào nhé/nha or bai nhé/nha would be closer in usage.
