How to Say Goodbye in 100 Different Languages

ByNinaUpdated onJuly 7, 2022

When it comes to travel, knowing how to say goodbye in the local language can make all the difference. It can show that you’ve made an effort to learn at least some of the language and culture, and it can help you avoid any awkwardness or misunderstandings as you depart.

But trying to memorize a long list of goodbyes in different languages can be daunting, so we’ve compiled a handy guide on how to say goodbye in 100 different languages, from Albanian to Zulu.

I’ve included pronunciation – cause there’s nothing worse than trying to say goodbye in different languages and finding out you’re just saying gibberish!

Need help learning a new language? I recommend iTalki! I’ve tried ALL the apps, but iTalki is the only way I’ve managed to learn as much as living in the local country.
