until tomorrow, that is, see you tomorrow) or hasta luego ( until later). The last group of farewells, which are probably the most common after adiós generally begin with hasta ( until). But it too has the problem of multiple forms depending on who you're talking to and where you are.
Additionally, you have to consider who you're saying it to and where you are.Īnother potential option is cuídate/cuidate/cuidaos/cuídese/cuidense 3 which means take care (of yourself/y'all's selves). But this isn't per se a farewell, and can be used in other, non-farewell contexts: if someone has told you in the conversation that they have a big test tomorrow, using it will be interpreted as wishing them well on the test, not generally. Other farewells tend to be relatively context-sensitive, but you can often hear things like que te vaya bien ( may things go well for you) which might additionally have other words attached, for example, que te/os/le/les 2 vaya bien la vida ( may/I hope life treat you/y'all well). In that regards, it's much like using good-bye in English.Ī simple one that you can use, but that I don't know it has much usage outside of Spain, is agur which derives from Euskera (Basque), but even that comes originally from Latin augurium so you aren't really removing yourself from "superstitious baggage". My atheist friends who are very particular about language 1 have no problem using it.
Well, to begin it should be made clear that, while adiós indeed comes from the phrase a Dios os encomiendo ( I entrust you to God), like the phrase ojalá (from لو شاء الله meaning if God wills (it)), today it no longer is seen to have any religious significance.
