How to Say ‘We'll be expecting you Saturday evening.’ in French
Nous vous attendrons samedi soir.
noo voo ah-tahn-DRON sam-dee swahr
[noo voo ah-tahn-DRON sam-dee swahr]
💬 Usage Tip: [Attendre] often means waiting, but [Nous vous attendrons] is the natural way to say [we'll be expecting you]. In service situations, that sounds more welcoming than a literal word-for-word translation might suggest.
🇫🇷 In France: A restaurant saying [Nous vous attendrons samedi soir.] is a normal confirmation, not a warning that you must arrive at one exact minute. If you will be quite late, though, it's polite to call.
