How to Say ‘Nice to see you again.’ in German

Schön, dich wiederzusehen.

shern dikh VEE-der-tsoo-zay-en

[shern dikh VEE-der-tsoo-zay-en]

💬 Usage Tip: wiedersehen "to see again" squeezes zu into its middle here: wiederzusehen. Same with kennenlernen "to get to know": schön, Sie kennenzulernen.

🇩🇪 In Germany: dich is the casual "you", the right choice once your in-laws have offered du. If you're still on Sie terms, say Schön, Sie wiederzusehen.
