So without further ado, here are 29 ways to say “Goodbye” in Dutch.<\/p>\n

Tot ziens –> So long
\nTot gauw –> See you soon
\nDag –> Goodbye
\nDoeg –>Bye
\nDoei –> Bye
\nVaarwel –> Farewell
\nHoje –> Bye (Limburg and Nijmegen)
\nHoudoe –> Bye (Brabandt)
\nIk ga je zien –>I’ll be seeing you
\nLater –> Later, but spoken with a Dutch accent (short “a”)
\nTjuus –> Bye (the Dutch spelling of the German\u00a0Tsch\u00fcss)
\nDoe-doei –> Bye-bye
\nTot straks –> See you soon
\nTot later –> See you later
\nAjuu –> Bye
\nTabee –> I’m outta here
\nToedeledoki –> Toodaloo
\nJoe –> Bye
\nDe mazzel –> Good luck
\nLaters –> Laters (baby)
\nDe ballen –> Goodbye
\nTot de volgende keer –> Till next time
\nTot kijk –> Till I see you
\nTot zo –> See you in a bit<\/p>\n

And just in case you need them (because, you never know)<\/strong>
\nTot in de pruimentijd –> Till hell freezes over
\nZie je aan de poort –> See you at the (pearly) gate<\/p>\n

These you want to think of as the Dutch equivalents of “see you later, alligator” and “after awhile, crocodile”<\/strong>
\nTot sinas –> a take on “tot ziens” and “sinas” as in “sinasappel” (orange, the fruit)
\nAjuu paraplu –> literally, this would be “later, umbrella”
\nGoede dagschotel –>goededag + dagschotel (special of the day, dish of the day) = goededagschotel<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

If you’ve got more ways to say “peace out” in Dutch, please share in the comments so I can add them to this list.<\/p>\n

And once you’re finished reading this post and leaving a comment, you can go ahead and make like a tree and leave! (Or check out more posts on the blog, read more about saying “toedeledokie<\/a>,” or keep hanging out here for the next learn Dutch post — whatever floats your boat)<\/p>\n

Till we meet again!<\/p>\n
