The 6 Most Useful Goodbyes In Spanish

Hasta luego – See you later

Hasta luego is an expression used in Spanish, typically meaning “until later” or “see you later.” It’s often compared to the English phrases “see you soon” or “until we meet again”.
It’s commonly used among family and friends to say goodbye for a short amount of time.

Hasta pronto – See you soon

Hasta pronto is used to say goodbye. It is considered to be a more informal version of the standard “adios”. Essentially, it means “see you soon” and implies a desire to meet the person again at some point in the near future.

Hasta mañana – See you tomorrow

Hasta mañana can be translated from Spanish to English as ‘see you tomorrow’ and it is commonly used as a farewell to someone you will be seeing the following day.

Adiós – Goodbye 

‘Adiós’ is one of the most universally-recognized Spanish phrases, but it can mean several things depending on the context. Literally translated as “to God,” adiós is a way to say goodbye in the same way you may use “farewell” in English.

Chao – See you later (informal)

The Spanish word chao is commonly used both as a greeting and as a farewell. Depending on how it is used, the meaning of chao can range from an energetic hello to an emotional goodbye. The term also conveys familiarity and friendship, making it more than just your stereotypical salutation.

Nos vemos – Until we meet again

Nos vemos is a Spanish phrase that translates to “see you” or “until we meet again”. It is commonly used as an informal way to say goodbye and expresses the idea of looking forward to seeing someone again soon. It’s often used among friends or family when saying farewell.
Among strangers or those who are less familiar with each other it is not appropriate to use nos vemos as a final parting phrase, but rather opt for a more formal version such as ‘hasta luego’.
