Dear Teachers,

1. Hey! Terry. Fancy meeting you here. Long time no see.
- I think "fancy seeing you here" is more correct, right?

2. Oh! It's pretty late. I must be going.
- "I must be going" means "I have to go", right?

Thanks very much to Teachers,

Stevenukd

1. "Fancy meeting you here" works ok, but "seeing" is more common.

2. Yes.

"Fancy" is actually "fantasy": Fantasy (imagine) meeting you here!
