“Goodbyes are not forever.
Goodbyes are not the end.
They simply mean I'll miss you.
Until we meet again!”
Taking farewell from a close person is a sad experience. However, it also lights up the hope to meet again. Though the time between farewell and the next meeting is painful, there is always a sweet expectation lingering behind. Rightly has Ben Jonson said: "In the hope to meet shortly again, and make our absence sweet." You can make the farewell exciting and less painful by saying goodbye in language other than your own. This will raise the curiosity and eagerness of your near and dear ones, making them forget the pain of parting for a few moments at least. Here, we bring you the phrases for ‘goodbye’ in some of the major languages of the world. Do take care to learn the accent of the particular language, before speaking it out.
