Saying goodbye
| Italian | English |
|---|---|
| Ciao! | Bye! (friends) |
| Arrivederci! / ArrivederLa! | Goodbye! / Goodbye! (formal, to one person) |
| A presto! | See you soon! |
| A dopo! / A domani! | See you later! / See you tomorrow! |
| Ci vediamo! | See you! |
| Ci sentiamo! | Speak soon! (by phone or message) |
| Buon viaggio! | Have a good trip! |
| Grazie di tutto! | Thanks for everything! |
Ci vediamo and ci sentiamo are literally we see each other, we hear each other — the present standing in for a near future. Add a time to make a plan: Ci vediamo sabato!
