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
