How to say goodbye in Japanese?

Answer 1

A standard polite way to say farewell & goodbye is to say "sayonara/sayounara".

さようなら - sayounara (also less formally さよなら - sayonara)

This is a bit formal/polite way to say goodbye. It would be similar to saying "good-bye" in English instead of 'bye'.

あばよ - abayo

It's rather brazen way of saying 'so long', 'farewell'.

お別れ - owakare

It is a formal word for the noun "farewell" itself (usu said お別れだ - owakare da meaning roughly 'this is where we part'.)

さらば - saraba (usu said saraba da)

This is also a formal way of saying 'farewell.'

More casual ways are:

バイバイ - bai bai

This expression, taken from the English bye bye is a very common way to say goodbye to your friends.

またね - mata ne

This is similar to "see you later". Literally it means "again (right)".

じゃーね - jaa ne

This is similar to English "well, then". It is hard to make a literal translation.

Also, in addition to that, when someone leaves your home, you would say "itterrashai," which means "safe journey." Along with this, if you are the one leaving, you would say "ittekimasu," which means "i'm going."

じゃ また ね - ja mata ne

This is a combination of jaa ne and mata ne. It means "see you later"

Answer 2

Sayonara is goodbye- as in many languages, with overtones of ( Until we meet again) that is, continuity, like the French Au Revoir, and the German Auf Widersehen, lit, until we see each other agaih. ( Ferensehn is, of course, the German word for TV) lit- Far seeing or remote visions) Goebbels was big on linguisticx autarchy, and Funk ( lit spark) for Radio and Ferensehn for TV were among his picks.
