Dovizhdane (Довиждане)

‘Goodbye’. Less formal is chao (чао) which is like ‘bye’ and obviously comes from Italian as merci comes from French. Chao works on its own, but at the end of a conversation, you’d say haida chao (хайда чао) which is like ’alright then, bye’. The response from the other person is usually different. If you say chao, they’ll say chao chao, and visa versa. Lek den (лек ден) is nice as it means something like ‘have an easy day’ or, if it’s the evening (which is feminine), it’s: Leka vecher (лека вечер). Again, the response is adjusted to just leka.
