'Hasta luego' ..... the last thing a lady friend said before signing her name on an email. She's from Luxembourg, but speaks many European languages. She's teasing me with language tricks; but lovingly. Can you help? I think it's Spanish, but I'm not sure.

Comment: "Thanks for your help. I began the teasing by using you folks to translate love notes; which I then sent her. Told her I was studying them.. one a night....lol. But owned up now. She's got me working now..... or rather YOU....lol
I gave you the score marks as your reply was 1st. If there's any way of thanking the others too, I'd appreciate that. Thanks again."

Until later
This is Spanish, and the literal translation is above. In Englsh emails, this is often shortened to 'later' for 'see you later' or 'talk to you later'.

Jose, you lack culture and are wrong. Some people do say it, but check my qualifier before disagreeing.

Yes it is Spanish, and it is a very common way to say goodbye it could be translated as "see you soon".
Saludos!

See you later
As one of the previous folks said, 'Until later' is a LITERAL translation. So Jose should pay attention before criticizing. Also, since the word 'luego' is one of those words that has its meaning altered depending on the context, the translation is a bit open. 'Leugo' most commonly means 'later'. But 'luego' can even mean 'then' in some contexts. It is my understanding (from my native Mexican wife) that the usual meaning of this phrase is 'See you later'. In the right context, it can mean 'See you soon', but a better phrase for that is 'Hasta pronto'.
