Help

[KUNIO]

Hello,

I sent an E-Mail to my teacher and he replied, but I can not really read his response I mean, I think I might have got it, but not sure. Can someone help me? Thank you!

どういたしまして　また　あした　ね

I think it means...

You're welcome, also tomorrow, isn't it?

That doesn't make sense though haha. Am I even close?

[kenmei]

you are welcome, see you tomorrow.

Thank you I am curios, he left out the pronoun, so where is "see"? I can find "tomorrow", and "you're welcome", but not anything else I am lost

"You're welcome. See ya tomorrow."

Dunno know why he/she used spacing in the second phrase, though. Is this a native speaker?

Um he did it so it is easier for me to read it and learn. But he not a native speaker though, he has been learning it for 8 years so far, and started teaching 2 years ago though.

"see" isnt mentioned its just how its translated. to translate it literally its more like "your welcome, tomorow yeah?" but people don't say that in english hence see you is applied

That's what I thought.

Even without the spacing, I don't think a native speaker would combine the rather formal どういたしまして with the highly casual　またあしたね. I certainly wouldn't.

So whats the infromal and formal versions of the above sentence then?

[KUNIO]

どういたしまして　また　あした　ね

Can we break it down?

どういたしまして = You're welcome (obvious)
また = Also/again from my dictionary, how where does this come in?
あした = Tomorrow (another obvious one)
ね = sensei said it seeked agreement

So how does it all fit into see you? Thank you very much, my head just is still hooked to English.

mata ashita = literally translates to as "again tomorrow" the assumed part of it is see you again tomorrow

just like in english, we have "later" and the assumed part is see you later

and you are correct about ne
