#1 안녕히 가세요 (annyeonghi gaseyo) - “Goodbye” in Korean when someone is leaving.

There are 4 ways to say “goodbye” in Korean that use the standard form: You can say 안녕히 가세요 (annyeonghi gaseyo), 안녕히 계세요 (annyeonghi gyeseyo), 가세요 (gaseyo), and 잘 가요 (jal gayo). Which of these phrases to use will depend on the situation.

If you're taking in-person or online Mandarin classes, you probably already know the most basic way to say goodbye in Chinese: 再见 (zài jiàn). This is one of the most common ways to say goodbye in Mandarin, and it's also one of the most versatile.

안녕 is 'hello' and 'goodbye'

So Koreans will say 안녕 when they meet, but also 안녕 as they go their separate ways. So, don't be surprised when a Korean person uses 안녕 not only when you meet them, but also when you're saying goodbye to each other.

Interjection. 아냐 • (anya) Contraction of 아니야 (aniya, “no”).

Mata ne (see you later), ja ne (well then), or the even more casual bai bai (yes, the Japanification of bye bye) are your best bet. If you do know when you'll meet again, go for mata plus a date (ashita for tomorrow, or raishu for next week, etc).
