There are a variety of ways to wish someone goodbye from very formal in MSA to quick goodbyes in dialect. How to do so depends on your relationship with the person and the social situation.<\/h3>\n

Let’s begin with the most common way to say goodbye in Arabic used in both formal and non formal situations.<\/h3>\n

\u00a0 \u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0629<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meaning “with peace\/safety”.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0633\u0651\u064e\u0644\u0627\u0645\u064f \u0639\u064e\u0644\u064a\u0643\u064f\u0645
\n<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meaning “peace be upon you”. As well as a greeting, this phrase can also be used to bid someone farewell. It is a formal way to say goodbye and always the safest choice with people you briefly come in contact with such as cab drivers, officials, or sellers at the market.<\/h3>\n

\u0648\u062f\u0627\u0639\u0627\u064b\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Is very formal coming from the word \u0648\u062f\u0627\u0639 <\/b>which is literally the act of saying “goodbye” or “farewell”.<\/h3>\n

\u0625\u0644\u0649 \u0627\u0644\u0644\u0642\u0627\u0621<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meaning “see you later” or “till our next meeting”.<\/h3>\n

\u2728There is no need to decline these depending on gender, singular or plural.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0645\u0639\u0643<\/b><\/h2>\n

“May God be with you”. This is another common way to say goodbye. Works in both formal and informal contexts. Sometimes it’s added to other goodbye phrases or said on its own. You’ll need to conjugate this phrase.<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0645\u064e\u0639\u064e\u0643 (male)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0645\u064e\u0639\u0650\u0643\u00a0 (female)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u0645\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0645\/\u0645\u064e\u0639\u0652\u0643\u064f\u0646\u00a0 (plural)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0628\u0627\u064a<\/b><\/h2>\n

This is an informal way to say goodbye. Think family and friends. As you know, the word “bye” has become universal. Arabs sometimes say “bye” on its own, or attached to other goodbye phrases for example,<\/h3>\n

\u0628\u0627\u064a\u060c \u0645\u0639 \u0627\u0644\u0633\u0644\u0627\u0645\u0629
\n<\/b><\/h3>\n

When Arabic speakers are ready to leave they often say \u064a\u0644\u0627 <\/b>as in “let’s go” then they attach \u0628\u0627\u064a <\/b>making it \u064a\u0644\u0627 \u0628\u0627\u064a<\/b>.<\/h3>\n

\u0623\u0631\u0627\u0643<\/b><\/h2>\n

\u0628\u0634\u0648\u0641\u0643\u00a0<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meaning “I’ll see you”. \u0623\u0631\u0627\u0643 <\/b>is standard Arabic and sometimes used in spoken Arabic. \u0628\u0634\u0648\u0641\u0643 <\/b>is strictly dialect. Sometimes the phrase \u0625\u0646 \u0634\u0627\u0621\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647<\/b> meaning ” God willing” is added after. Remember to conjugate.<\/h3>\n

\u0623\u0631\u0627\u0643\u064e\u00a0 (male)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0623\u0631\u0627\u0643\u0650\u00a0 (female)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0623\u0631\u0627\u0643\u064f\u0645\u00a0 (plural)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0628\u0634\u0648\u0641\u064e\u0643\u00a0 (male)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0628\u0634\u0648\u0641\u0650\u0643 (female)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u0628\u0634\u0648\u0641\u0643\u064f\u0645\/\u0628\u0634\u0648\u0641\u0643\u064f\u0646\u00a0 (plural)<\/b><\/h3>\n

\u00a0\u064a\u0650\u0639\u0652\u0637\u064a\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0641\u0652\u064a\u0650\u0629<\/b><\/h2>\n

Meaning \u201cMay God give you good health.\u201d If the person you are saying goodbye to is working on something, saying \u064a\u0650\u0639\u0652\u0637\u064a\u0643 \u0627\u0644\u0639\u0627\u0641\u0652\u064a\u0650\u0629 is very polite. You can say this to your mother as well as your manager or a new acquaintance. You are leaving them to continue with their task and you wish them health in doing so. Their reply would be<\/h3>\n

\u0627\u0644\u0644\u0647 \u064a\u0639\u0627\u0641\u064a\u0643\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n

Wishing them good health as well.<\/h3>\n

Sometimes words are enough, but if you’re saying goodbye to someone close, a gesture can go with it. With family members and close friends, kisses on the cheek are almost always expected. Unless close family members, this usually occurs strictly between people of the same gender.<\/h3>\n

A goodbye handshake between opposite genders depends on one’s personal preference. If you don’t mind, it’s best to wait till the other person puts their hand out first for a handshake. If they don’t, put your hand over your heart as you say goodbye. This of course applies to greeting someone as well. Standing up to say goodbye when someone goes to leave the room is considered polite and respectful especially if the person leaving is older than you are.<\/h3>\n

I hope you found this post to be a handy reference for saying goodbye in Arabic. Till next week, happy Arabic learning and<\/h3>\n
