Chinese Lesson: How to Say Goodbye
 
Learn how to politely end a conversation in Chinese by knowing the different ways to say "goodbye." The most common way to say "bye" is 再见. The pinyin pronunciation is "zài jiàn."  
 
Pronunciation
Each of the two characters of再见 (zài jiàn) are pronounced in the fourth (falling) tone.
 
Character Explanation
再见 (zài jiàn) is composed of two characters. It is possible to examine the meaning of each individual character, but it is important to remember that再见 (zài jiàn) is used together to form a complete phrase. Chinese characters have individual meanings, but the majority of Mandarin vocabulary is made of compounds of two or more characters.
For interest's sake, here are the translations of the two characters 再 and 见.
再 (zài): again; once more; next in sequence; another
见 (jiàn): to see; to meet; to appear (to be something); to interview
So, a possible translation of再见 (zài jiàn) is "again to meet". But, again, don't think of再见 (zài jiàn) as two words—it is one phrase that means "goodbye".
 
Other Ways To Say Goodbye
Here are some other common ways to say "goodbye":
明天见(míng tiān jiàn) - see you tomorrow
一会儿见(yī huĭr jiàn) - see you later (the same day)
回头见(huí tóu jiàn) - see you later (the same day)
