| Survival Phrases lesson 5 - How to Say Goodbye in Hindi |
| In this lesson, we'll introduce "good-byes." |
| As we learned in the previous lesson, नमस्ते| (namasTe) can mean both "hello" and "good-bye." However, this is not the only way of saying good-bye in Hindi! |
| A parting expression that we can use for all occasions is फिर मिलेंगे| (phir milenge), which means "See you again." |
| फिर मिलेंगे| (phir milenge) |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: फिर मिलेंगे| (phir milenge) |
| Now let's hear it again: फिर मिलेंगे| (phir milenge) |
| The first word, फिर (phir), means "again," and the second word मिलेंगे (milenge) means "We will meet." |
| Let's look at another expression. The word नमस्ते| (namasTe), as seen in the previous lesson, also means "good-bye." |
| Now let’s hear it slowly once again: नमस्ते| (namasTe) |
| नमस्ते| (namasTe) |
| As we learned in the last lesson, the more formal or plural नमस्कार| (namaskaar) is also an appropriate choice when parting. |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: नमस्कार| (namaskaar) |
| Now let's hear it again: नमस्कार| (namaskaar) |
| A variation of फिर मिलेंगे| (phir milenge), is फिर मिलते हैं| (phir milTe hain), which literally means "We meet again." |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: फिर मिलते हैं| (phir milTe hain) |
| Now let's hear it once again: फिर मिलते हैं| (phir milTe hain) |
| Another less common expression that means "good-bye" is the Urdu word अल्विदा| (alviDaa). |
| Let’s break it down by syllable: अल्विदा| (alviDaa) |
| अल्विदा| (alviDaa) |
| अल्विदा| (alviDaa) literally means "farewell." |

You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer, so गुड लक! (guud Lak!), which means "good luck" in Hindi. |
