'Long time no see' nghĩa là 'lâu rồi không gặp' (I have not seen you in a long time; We have not seen each other in a long time).

Ví dụ
“Long time, no see” -- this common if ungrammatical phrase is heard often enough in conversations where there is not much else to say.

Long time, no see! Tennis great Andre Agassi, 46, returned to the limelight on Wednesday night in Melbourne, fulfilling ambassador duties for Swiss watch company Longines.

As the 20th century progressed, "long time no see" began to evolve from a phrase in broken English to a standard way to greet an old acquaintance. By 1920, the phrase makes it into Good Housekeeping magazine.
