Farewells

In this lesson, you'll learn how to say goodbye in Portuguese. There are several ways to say farewell, from the formal to the casual. Some expressions are used at any time of day, while others are specific to the evening or night. Portuguese farewells often reflect warmth and friendliness, and you might hear people using diminutives or adding extra words to make their goodbyes sound more affectionate. For example, "Até logo" literally means "Until soon," showing the expectation of seeing someone again.
