"See You" On The Radio Explanation: In response to our dialogue above :), I think that "See YOU" on the radio' is the better option of the two. 'See you', is more open and less specific as to who, where and what is being advertised. E.g. See you later, see you there, see you tomorrow...'see you on the radio'. It's warmer and friendlier - sounds better to my ears. 'See yourself', is the specific, literal translation and that's why it sounds odd and not quite right. Will the advertiser actually BE THERE, visible on the radio - no, I think not - it doesn't make sense to me, although technically it is right. Well, just expressing what I like the sound of actually, but I hope it helps...:) |
