Hellos and Goodbyes are normally the first thing we learn to say in every new language. At first, saying \u2018goodbye\u2019 might seem pretty straight-forward until you dig a bit deeper. There\u2019s a time and place to say \u2018see you later\u2019 \u2018goodbye\u2019 \u2018farewell\u2019 and if you mix them up, you could sound awkward or off. It\u2019s the same in Japanese.<\/span><\/p>\n

It\u2019s essential to know the right way to say goodbye in Japanese for the right situation. At the same time, you need to know which phrases go in the right context. Otherwise, you might commit a social blunder and feel a bit awkward<\/a>. So let\u2019s dive into how to say goodbye in Japanese.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

How to Say Goodbye in Japanese<\/h2>\n

Bye-Bye (\u30d0\u30a4\u30d0\u30a4)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Starting with an easy one, we\u2019ve got the simple <\/span>bai-bai<\/span><\/i>. If it looks familiar to you, it\u2019s because the phrase comes from the English \u2018bye-bye\u2019. Using <\/span>bai-bai<\/span><\/i> definitely has its time and place, mostly amongst friends and often by women so using <\/span>bai-bai<\/span><\/i> will definitely sounds a bit <\/span>kawaii<\/span><\/i> (cute).<\/span><\/p>\n

Be mindful about using it as well. The phrase <\/span>bai-bai<\/span><\/i> definitely has a more feminine feeling to it, so people might look at you strangely if you say it as a guy.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

See you and See you Later\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The next phrases should only be used in casual situations with people of the same social standing. Remember that Japanese culture places a premium on social structures and the language reflects that. So while you can use these with your friends, don\u2019t try them out on your boss.<\/span><\/p>\n

See You — \u3058\u3083\u3042\u306d (jaa ne<\/i>)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You\u2019ll hear <\/span>jaa ne<\/span><\/i> used as parting words a lot if you spend time with the Japanese. It\u2019s their way of making a quick goodbye among friends. Think of it as the Japanese way of saying \u2018see you,\u2019 as it\u2019s both brief and simple.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/h3>\n

See you Later — \u307e\u305f\u306d (Matane)<\/strong><\/h3>\n

By itself, the word <\/span>mata<\/span><\/i> simply means \u2018again.\u2019 You can use\u00a0 <\/span>mata-ne<\/span><\/i> when you expect to see someone again in the near future. Men sometimes omit the –<\/span>ne<\/span><\/i> particule and combine it with jaa to make <\/span>jaa mata<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

The word mata can also join with other time words to specify when exactly you\u2019ll see someone next. If you plan to see someone the next day, you can probably say <\/span>mata ashita<\/span><\/i>.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u2018See you tomorrow\u2019 <\/span> \u307e\u305f\u660e\u65e5<\/span> mata<\/span><\/i> ashita<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

\u2018See you next week\u2019<\/span> \u307e\u305f\u6765\u9031<\/span> mata raish\u016b\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Expressions for a Formal Goodbye<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Japan, showing respect and proper politeness is considered very important. As such, there\u2019s a strong emphasis on using <\/span>keigo<\/span><\/i> (\u656c\u8a9e), which is the concept of respectful language<\/span>. Now let\u2019s get into the more formal ways of saying goodbye you might use in more formal situatation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Shitsurei Shi-Masu — \u5931\u793c\u3057\u307e\u3059<\/strong><\/h3>\n

People use <\/span>shitsureishi-masu<\/span><\/i> to say goodbye in more formal situations. This can include leaving a doctors office or a meeting. The phrase has a rather odd origin that tells you a lot about Japanese culture. The term \u5931\u793c (shitsurei) simply means \u2018rude thing\u2019 and the verb \u3059\u308b (<\/span>suru<\/span><\/i>) means to do. Translated literally, saying shitsureishi-masu means that you\u2019re about to do a rude thing. In this case, that means leaving.<\/span><\/p>\n

It may seem odd at first, but sometimes set expressions are simply strange.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Osaki-ni Shitsurei Shi-Masu — <\/i><\/strong>\u304a\u5148\u306b\u5931\u793c\u3057\u307e\u3059<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n

This phrase is a slight variation of <\/span>shitsurei shi-masu <\/span><\/i>and is regularly heard as the standard \u2018goodbye\u2019 in a Japanese office. But there\u2019s one catch. You\u2019ll hear people say <\/span>osaki ni shitsurei shi-masu <\/span><\/i>when they are leaving while other people are staying at the office.<\/span><\/p>\n

You see the first part <\/span>osaki-ni <\/span><\/i>roughly translates to \u2018before (you).\u2019 So when you break it down you get \u2018I\u2019m doing the rude thing (leaving) before you.\u2019 Since Japanese work-culture puts such a high value on long hours, you can understand how such phrasing came about.<\/span><\/p>\n

Stop Saying Say\u014dnara So Much!<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"Saying<\/p>\n

You may have heard the word <\/span>say\u014dnara<\/span><\/i> (<\/span>\u3055\u3088\u3046\u306a\u3089) <\/b>in your favorite anime or movie. People even say it in English sometimes. However, you should understand that in Japanese, the phrase <\/span>say\u014dnara <\/span><\/i>should only be reserved for special occasions.<\/span><\/p>\n

The best translation for <\/span>say\u014dnara <\/span><\/i>is probably \u2018farewell,\u2019 but the meaning is much deeper than that since the word has a very strong sense of finality to it. Saying <\/span>say\u014dnara <\/span><\/i>implies that you’re saying goodbye to someone for a very long time or maybe even forever. So be sure not to say when you leave a group of friends or family!<\/span><\/p>\n

Note: On the rare occasion where you do have to say the long goodbye, be sure to make the y\u014d long. Sah-y\u014dh-na-ra, not sah-yoh-na-ra or sah-yuh-na-ra.<\/span><\/p>\n

Leaving Your House — \u884c\u3063\u3066\u6765\u307e (Ittekimasu)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

In Japanese, there is a specific way to say goodbye for when you leave your own home. As you slip on your shoes, you\u2019re expected to call out \u2018<\/span>itte kimasu.\u2019 <\/span><\/i>The phrase comes from the verbs for going (<\/span>iku\/ <\/span><\/i>\u884c\u304f<\/b>) and coming back (<\/span>kuru\/<\/span><\/i>\u6765\u308b<\/b>).<\/span><\/p>\n

Whoever is still at home when you leave should respond with the phrase <\/span>\u884c<\/span>\u3063\u3066\u3089\u3063\u3057\u3083\u3044 <\/span>(<\/span>itte rashai<\/span><\/i>). This simply means \u201cgo and come back.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

You might also be wondering why you\u2019d use the -masu form of verb with your own family. Simply put, there\u2019s really no reason other than that itte kimasu is a set expression and that\u2019s how it\u2019s formed.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Saying<\/p>\n

<\/h2>\n

Take Care – \u6c17\u3092\u4ed8\u3051\u3066\u306d (Ki-o Tsukete-ne)<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Our last way of saying goodbye in Japanese is probably the most poorly understood. Often you\u2019ll see it translated as \u2018take care\u2019 but the phrase has a bit more nuance to it than that. People often wish each other <\/span>ki-o tsukete-ne <\/span><\/i>when they go on trips.<\/span><\/p>\n

But here\u2019s the catch: Only the person staying can say it to the person going. So if you\u2019re leaving on a journey, do NOT say <\/span>ki-o tsukete-ne, <\/span><\/i>but if you\u2019re friend is going to backpack through India, then this is the phrase you want to use before you depart.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
