Expert Answer

The easiest way to say it is "Eu te amo." Pronounce it "a-oh teh ah-moh." You could also say "Eu amo você" (a-oh ah-moh voh-say).

Question

How do I say goodbye in Japanese?

Community Answer

It depends. In general, one would use "sayonara". However, this is used for people whom you may not see for awhile, or it can be used with teachers. If you want to say goodbye to a friend whom you'll probably see within the next day or two, you can say "jaa mata", "matane", or "jaane."

The Ojibwe people do not have a word that directly translates to "goodbye." However, there are a number of alternative phrases that can be used. One is "Minawaa giga-waabamin": "I'll see you again."
