Goodbye
expression
I saw your Nara (さようなら), but I then had to say goodbye. It was just a short trip, but at least I saw your Nara.
さようなら is a formal way to say goodbye, so a good word to use with colleagues and teachers.
A quick tip before I say goodbye: さようなら often drops its middle う, becoming さよなら.
みなさん、さようなら
goodbye everyone
ジェニーさん、さようなら
goodbye Jenny
それでは、さようなら。
goodbye then
先生、さようなら。
Goodbye Sensei.
さようなら、一月。こんにちは、二月。
Goodbye January. Hello February.
さようなら、今までサカナをありがとう。
So long, and thanks for all the fish.
