Just as important as saying hello is knowing how to say goodbye. In Chinese, the most common phrase is 再见 (Zàijiàn), which literally means “see you again.”
👋 Common Ways to Say Goodbye
- 再见 (Zàijiàn) — Goodbye / See you again
- 拜拜 (Bàibài) — Bye-bye (casual, borrowed from English)
- 回头见 (Huítóu jiàn) — See you later
- 明天见 (Míngtiān jiàn) — See you tomorrow
📌 Tip: Adding “见 (jiàn)” makes it easy to say “see you [time].” Example: 周末见 (Zhōumò jiàn) — See you this weekend.
