If you follow Clozemaster&#8217;s blog, you already know how to say <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/hello-in-greek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hello in Greek<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/thank-you-in-greek\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">thank you in Greek<\/a>, which are both really important, since the Greeks value politeness and courteousness in everyday conversations \u2013 even if it is just a formality. Now it&#8217;s time to learn the various ways to say goodbye in Greek.<\/p>\n<p>There are numerous ways to say goodbye in Greek, depending on who you are speaking with, what time of day it is, and how affectionate you want to be. Each of these words and phrases is useful in its own context. Let&#8217;s go over all of the useful phrases for saying goodbye in Greek so you can choose what works best for you.<\/p>\n<h2>Saying Goodbye in Greek<\/h2>\n<p>Knowing how to end a conversation is essential in most cultures, and it\u2019s highly expected in European countries. Greece is one of those countries where not saying hello or goodbye is considered rude and brusque.<\/p>\n<p>However, being polite does not require you to know every single phrase. Knowing how to say \u201cbye\u201d and \u201chave a nice day\/evening\u201d is all you need to get by in everyday situations. Of course, as we&#8217;ve discussed in previous articles, consulting the <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Help:IPA\/Greek\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Greek IPA<\/a> is a great way to make sure you are also pronouncing these words correctly.<\/p>\n<p>The most common and casual ways to say goodbye in Greek are as follows:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u0393\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 <\/strong>\/ja\/ = bye<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>This multifunctional word is an essential component of the Greek vocabulary. While it is most commonly used as a way to say hello, it can also serve as a goodbye word.<\/p>\n<p>It can be used as it is, but it can also be directed at a person, using a pronoun in singular or plural:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u0393\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c3\u03bf\u03c5\u00a0<\/strong>\/ja su\/ = hello to you (sing.)<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u0393\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 \u03c3\u03b1\u03c2\u00a0<\/strong>\/ja sas\/ = hello to you (pl.)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>It&#8217;s worth noting that the pronoun-based form of \u03b3\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1 is typically used for greetings rather than goodbyes.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u0391\u03bd\u03c4\u03af\u03bf <\/strong>\/a\u2019dio\/ = goodbye<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>\u0391\u03bd\u03c4\u03af\u03bf<\/strong> is a common way to say goodbye in Greek, and it can be used in any situation, whether formal or informal.

When unsure of what to say, simply say \u00ab\u03ba\u03b1\u03bb\u03ae \u03c3\u03c5\u03bd\u03ad\u03c7\u03b5\u03b9\u03b1\u00bb.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u03a4\u03b1 \u03bb\u03ad\u03bc\u03b5 <\/strong>\/ta leme\/ = see you<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A mostly informal phrase, you can say it to someone you are going to talk to or see again soon. It comes in different variations, which we will explore in the following section.<\/p>\n<h2>See You in Greek<\/h2>\n<p>Like most languages, Greek has a lot of ways to say \u201csee you\u201d.

While in the past century it was mostly French and Italian, younger generations are increasingly using English words to say goodbye. A few of them are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>\u039c\u03c0\u03ac\u03b9<\/strong> (bye)<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u03a4\u03c3\u03ac\u03bf<\/strong> (ciao)<\/li>\n<li><strong>\u0391\u03c4\u03bf\u03c5\u03c4\u03b1\u03bb\u03ad\u03c1<\/strong> (\u00e0 tout \u00e0 l&#8217;heure)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Greek Goodbye Gestures<\/h2>\n<p>As you&#8217;ve probably read (or seen), Greeks are very expressive people. Body language is essential during a conversation, including how they say goodbye. Which gestures should you expect when saying goodbye to someone?<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Waving<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most common gesture when you are parting ways with someone is to wave your hand at them. It&#8217;s a common gesture, especially if you&#8217;re in a hurry or walking in the opposite direction as the person you&#8217;re saying goodbye to.<\/p>\n<p>Note: Try to keep your fingers close together, as a palm with wide open fingers is considered a vulgar gesture in Greece.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Handshake<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The safest goodbye gesture. It is a formal gesture, but it can also be used in informal situations when you don&#8217;t know the other person well and don&#8217;t feel comfortable hugging them.<\/p>\n<p>Shake someone&#8217;s hand when you leave a meeting or meet them for the first time, even in an informal setting. It expresses appreciation for the person you have just met.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Hugging and\/or Kissing Goodbye<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>The most &#8220;Greek&#8221; way of saying goodbye, of course, is to hug or kiss someone goodbye. A hug should suffice for friends or other people with whom you can be more affectionate &#8211; it is affectionate enough without crossing boundaries or going overboard.<\/p>\n<p>A double cheek kiss, however, might be appropriate for close friends and family. Yet, this is a very informal gesture, and you should always consider that the other person may not be comfortable enough to engage in a hug.<\/p>\n<h2>Goodbye in Greek \u2013 Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>Saying goodbye in Greek is not very hard. It\u2019s quite similar to English or <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/goodbye-in-german\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">German<\/a>, and it follows a common etiquette with the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.clozemaster.com\/blog\/goodbye-in-french\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">French way to say goodbye<\/a>.
