~ Chpt 39 : Later @ Laters ~

Hi Its me. Its sure has been a while. (^_^)

Last week, i have read a book and found this word. Its strange because i have never come cross with that words and it makes me confused.

I search those words through internet but have different meaning and here i thought it is the same.

The words are Later & Laters

Later  (source: http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/later)

  1. comparative form of late: more late
    You came in late yesterday and today you came in even later.
  2. Afterward in time (used with than when comparing with another time).
    My roommate arrived first. I arrived later.
    I arrived later than my roommate.
  3. At some unspecified time in the future.
    I wanted to do it now, but I'll have to do it later.

Laters  (source http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/laters)

Shortened from see you later, with hypocoristic -s (compare toodles from toodleloo and bye-byes from good-bye).

laters!

  1. (slang) see you later; an expression used at parting.

I'm gained new knowledge by reading

Laters, Gorgeous/Handsome/Baby <-- haha

  • @ Hardi : at first, i am so confused too and after reading it few times then i did understand. Its more like slang..  I think its more easy then saying " see you later" but then again slang words always makes us non-spoken english confused

    (^_^)?

    Laters, Hardi

  • Now I gained a bit of that knowledge that you gained too, from reading your blog here. But I really don't understand it. How on earth could "see you  later" become "laters". Shouldn't laters be just the plural of later? I would think it's like "Until to next meetings we meet again." So weird.

  • haha

    i will say it to you often Noas.. so you need to be ready..

    Laters, gorgeous =P

  • I hate slang!  (>_<) :-P
