Some posts ago we had a quick review on how saying \u201cHello<\/a>\u201d in Spanish, and now it is time to work on different ways of saying \u201cGoodbye\u201d.
\nRemember that depending on the context and how close our relationship with the addressee is, the farewell will be different. If it is a friend or a relative, we will kiss him\/her to say goodbye as well as we do when greeting.<\/p>\n

Speaking<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Saying goodbye to a friend<\/strong><\/p>\n

Adi\u00f3s<\/em> <\/em>(Bye)<\/em>
\nHasta luego\/hasta m\u00e1s tarde<\/em> <\/em>(See you later)<\/em>
\nHasta ma\u00f1ana<\/em> <\/em>(See you tomorrow)<\/em>
\nHasta pronto<\/em> <\/em>(See you soon)<\/em>
\nHasta la pr\u00f3xima<\/em> <\/em>(Until next time)<\/em>
\nHasta el viernes<\/em> <\/em>(See you on Friday)<\/em>
\nHasta ahora<\/em> <\/em>(See you in a minute)<\/em>
\nNos vemos.<\/em> <\/em>(See you soon\/ See ya.) This is probably the most casual one.<\/em><\/p>\n

If we are leaving some place, or ending a conversation, we can also use these expressions to say goodbye:<\/p>\n

Buenos d\u00edas <\/em>(good morning)<\/em>
\nBuenas tarde<\/em>s (good afternoon)
\nBuenas noches<\/em> (good evening\/good night)
\n2. The Formal Way<\/strong><\/p>\n

In formal situations, or to show respect to old people, don\u00b4t forget using \u201custed\u201d instead of \u201ct\u00fa\u201d.<\/p>\n

Adi\u00f3s. <\/em>(Goodbye)<\/em>
\n\u00a0Que tenga un buen d\u00eda.<\/em> (Goodbye, have a nice day!) This is very useful in face to face situations, and to end a phone conversation.
\nEncantada de haberle visto. <\/em>(Pleased to have seen you)<\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

Writing<\/strong><\/p>\n

1. Formal endings<\/strong><\/p>\n

A la espera de sus noticias, le saluda atentamente\u2026<\/i> (I look forward to hearing from you soon. Yours sincerely\/faithfully)<\/em><\/em>
\n\u00a0<\/i>
\nSin otro particular, le saluda atentamente,<\/i>
\nAtentamente, <\/i>
\nLe saluda atentamente,<\/i> (Yours sincerely\/faithfully)<\/em><\/p>\n

Esperando su pronta respuesta…<\/i> (I am looking forward to your response)<\/p>\n

2. Less formal endings<\/strong><\/p>\n

Un cordial saludo, <\/i>(Kind regards)
\nCordialmente, <\/i>(Regards)<\/p>\n

3. Informal, <\/strong>friendly or <\/strong>personal letters<\/strong><\/p>\n

Besos <\/i>(Kisses) <\/i>
\nCon todo mi cari\u00f1o <\/i>(With all my love) <\/i>
\nCon todo mi afecto <\/i>(With all my affection) <\/i>
\nUn abrazo,<\/i>
\nUn fuerte abrazo,<\/i>
\nUn fuerte abrazo de tu amigo<\/i>, (Hugs)
\nSeguimos en contacto<\/i> (We keep in touch)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
