How to say "see you later" in Chinese

This is a fixed expression: 回头 (huítóu) literally means "turn head" but here means "later," and 见 (jiàn) means "see." Together it's "see you later."

Use it when saying goodbye to someone you'll see again soon, like a friend or colleague. It's casual and friendly. Avoid using it in very formal situations; there you'd say 再见 (zàijiàn). It's similar to English "see you around."
