While I am walking on the street, the college, shopping ...etc I meet native American friends. When we finish a quick chat, I used to say nice to see you. They say good to see you. Is there any difference in usage between "nice to see you" and "good to see you"? Am I wrong if I say nice to see you.

1By "Native American" do you mean the aboriginal people of America, sometimes called "American Indians"– James KMay 9, 2018 at 19:13

Men, women or both? "nice" probably ends up on the feminine side of usage.– user3169May 9, 2018 at 22:19

Both mean the same thing and can be used interchangeably.

That's right but "talking the talk" is essential for acceptance in peer groups. May 9, 2018 at 19:53

1@WeatherVane If I said "nice to see you" to someone, I wouldn't even notice a difference whether someone replied "good to see you" or "nice to see you." Although I think it would be more colloquial to add "too" to the end (e.g., "nice to see you, too") when replying. May 9, 2018 at 20:24

Good for you but many people are picky when judging the language others speak. May 9, 2018 at 20:26
