"Bye" in Japanese in 10 Different Situations! (Not SAYONARA)

you've heard sayonara right and yes that means goodbye in Japanese but the truth is we don't really say that in Japan the only situation where sayonara is used is in school between teachers and students so what are the Alternatives of sayonara this is an ultimate video to learn how to say ba in 10 different situations more specifically what to say when leaving so without any further Ado let's get started so the first situation is saying bye to your friends casually and we say that shows like sharing feeling and it makes it sound more friendly if you're on a sound a more masculine you can also say Jana Jana just replace the net to knock if you drop the net in my you can also use it to someone who's older like but you don't really wait and another phrase you can use is matane is the same thing like sharing the feeling if you want to make it masculine you can say but if you know when you're meeting them the next time you can say see you tomorrow by saying matasta Mata again ashta tomorrow if you're meeting them next week you can say and for those phrase you can also addastane and you can also say probably this is the easiest one you can say bye bye bye bye bye bye it's really really casual I still use it sometimes just like on the phone bye bye like combining the two you can also combine matane see you again you can also combine the two and use that to someone older a little formal version you can say so second situation is at night when you're like for example after dinner or after party you can say oyasumi literally means good night but um it's used like have a good night and formally you can say yes I now moving on to the next one third one is when you're leaving where you belong like home or groups so when you're the one leaving you want to say is coming from iku to go but it's a tip form of iku so to go and kimasu is I'll come back so the dictionary form is Kuru and The Mask form is kimaso together itekimasu means I'll go and come back so you're implying you're telling them that you're planning to come back you can use it at home or you can also use it outside if someone is leaving saying itikimasu right you can say is actually shortened version of means welcome in or come in means please go and come back please go and come back what did I say twice so leaving your house is right but what about when you're leaving someone's house as a guest and this is the fourth one you say this is actually Lost in Translation but let me explain that as much as I can means bothering or intrusion and shimashita means I did so it means I bothered you translate that literally it's more like thank you for having me it's a nice polite and well monitored phrase to use when you're leaving as a guest this is important you're the guest this is a formal way of saying saying this and there's no casual way I would still use Style with my friends when I'm invited to their house and then I'm leaving I would still say but when you're leaving Japanese friends might come and see you off at the door or even to for example to the parking lot or something so if you're the one inviting them especially Japanese people and saying bye please try to see them off until you can't see them anymore don't just turn around and then go to your place see them off and it's a nice gesture and very very caring so fifth one is I would say have a good day Alternatives I really like the English phrase of have a good day or have a good evening or you know those phrases we do have it but we don't really use it we have yui ichinichi a day good day it's actually shortened version of I've never really heard it used in Japan and I'd say it sounds more caring and friendly if you cheer them for what they're gonna do next or what they are working on for example if you want to say Enjoy or have fun you can say is literally have fun enjoy and there is the sharing feeling as I said previously and formally you can say for example if they are going on a date you can say have fun enjoy if they're going to a party you can say don't worry it doesn't sound ironic that you didn't get invited but I'm kidding and the next one is you want to cheer for them like good luck or do your best you can say literally means good luck or do your best the formal one is for example when they're taking a test very soon you can say if they are having an interview you can say good luck another phrase that shows your caringness is take care especially when someone is traveling home like driving home or taking the train home or even the plane for example if they are driving home you can say formal version is don't wave if you're speaking the polite one but if you want to show like friendliness you can kind of wave depends on what kind of relationship you have with the person so far there are casual phrases and formal phrases from here I'm gonna explain more of how to say bye to strangers and also like at work if you're liking this video please give it a thumbs up and yeah continue watching next one is when someone's sick you wouldn't just say bye right that's kind of mean you want to say get well soon and in Japanese you can say means the action of taking good care of something and daijini suru means to take good care the phrase is not actually a complete sentence the hidden part is please take good care of your body but uh it's long and you can just say the odaijini part to your friends or even if someone older but if you want to sound more formal you can say the full phrase and if you are going to a hospital or clinic they might say is a honorific form of please do so it's like a level up a formality to someone like your boss or or someone who you pay respect to so the seventh one is at the restaurant or store so first one at the restaurant you can say as you leave now this is actually a greeting phrase to say after eating do you thankful the food and for someone who cook but it's also used when leaving the restaurant as you leave to thank for the service food and for the chef really a nice phrase to say when leaving the restaurant now when you receive service at the store for example you're getting some paperwork done at public offices because there's a lot of paperwork in Japan in that case you can say when you leave it literally means thank you but don't say arigato by itself this is casual and most of the time when you're getting the service you're the customer you want to be polite you're talking to a stranger so you want to say arigato thank you for what you've done now next one is at work when you're the leading first you can say [Music] means before use please excuse me so osaki news today she must please excuse me before you and when you're saying oh they will say foreign but not in a negative way acknowledging that they worked they did the hard work the best translation would be good work or you did a good job or thank you for working hard if your colleagues who are leaving or in the same batch or same age or younger you can just say that's a casual way now on to the next one nice situation is graduation graduating from school or when you're retiring or when you're leaving the sports team you can say to everybody means to be under someone's care so this phrase past tense more like thank you for taking care of me or thank you for working with me so you'd say that at the graduation to your teachers or to someone who took care of you in school or when you're retiring or when you're leaving the company you can say to everybody the last situation is farewell farewell fare well if you want to say farewell it's not sayonara it sounds like forever goodbye it kind of has the negative connotation so you can say that energetic or healthy means stay well not a complete sentence the complete sentence would be stay healthy or you can just cut it and just say and it's formal you can say to someone who's older or someone who's in like higher position or status see friends you can say kind of sad very well but it's like wishing them good luck wishing them well so it's a nice phrase all right I hope it was helpful and I hope you get to use some of those phrases in real life with
