✕Common Mistakes
Parfaite, à plus !
When used as an interjection, “Parfait” never changes gender; it stays masculine.
Parfait, à plus tard tard !
The word “tard” is already implied; saying it twice sounds redundant.
Parfait, à plus tardes !
“À plus tard” is a fixed phrase; adding an “es” makes it ungrammatical.

Cultural Tip
“À plus” is a staple of everyday French slang, especially among younger speakers. In more formal contexts you’d opt for “Au revoir”, “À bientôt” or “À tout à l’heure”. Also, note that “Parfait” stays masculine even when you’re talking about a feminine situation – it’s an interjection, not an adjective describing a noun.
