comeback

Usage Note

Regreso is the noun form of regresar ('to return'). The phrase de regreso means 'on the way back' (de regreso a casa = 'on the way home'). Unlike vuelta, which can mean a turn or a lap, regreso is exclusively about returning to a place of origin. Both are interchangeable in many contexts, but regreso carries a slightly more formal tone.

Examples

"Esperamos su regreso mañana."

Natural Translation

We expect his return tomorrow.
