  • Hey guys, I'm Alex.

  • Thanks for clicking, and welcome to this

  • lesson on 5 ways to say goodbye.

  • In English, you probably know, if you're

  • watching this video, the most common way

  • to say goodbye, or some of the more formal

  • ways to say goodbye,

  • again the most common one is

  • "Goodbye."

  • or "Bye."

  • or "Bye-bye."

  • So if you're familiar with those ones,

  • I have 5 more on the board that

  • you can use.

  • Okay, one way to say goodbye is

  • "See ya!"

  • Now, what is "ya?"

  • "Ya" is simply "you."

  • In spoken English, many native speakers,

  • instead of saying "you" when they're

  • saying goodbye, will not say "See you."

  • You CAN say "See you." but it's also

  • possible to say "See ya!"

  • Now, this is much more informal,

  • among friends, coworkers, classmates,

  • people you know well.

  • So "See Ya!" just means "See you."

  • We'll put that here.

  • Now, "See you," you can follow this with

  • a time as well, so you can say,

  • "See ya later."

  • "See ya on the weekend."

  • "See ya tomorrow."

  • or you can say "See you next week."

  • "See you after school."

  • "See you after work."

  • "See ya." alright.

  • You can give a time when you will

  • see the person again.

  • The next expression is "Take it easy!"

  • So if you say "Alright goodbye, Alex."

  • I say, "Alright bye, take it easy."

  • This means take it easy.

  • It means relax.

  • Okay, this means don't stress

  • yourself too much.

  • Be relaxed.

  • Okay, don't stress yourself too much.

  • Now, if you have been working very hard

  • and it's the end of the work day,

  • I might say this to you,

  • "Okay, take it easy!"

  • This means, have an easy day,

  • have a relaxed day.

  • Okay, now, the next expression,

  • "Have a good one!"

  • What is one?

  • Here you're talking about a day.

  • Have a good day.

  • So if you tell someone

  • "Have a good one!"

  • You're jut saying, "Have a good day."

  • This is a nice wish for a person, right.

  • You're just saying "I hope you have a

  • very nice day."

  • "Have a good one." That's it.

  • Next one, "Take care!"

  • Now, I use this at the end of

  • a lot of my videos, most of my videos.

  • "Take care." means to take good care

  • of yourself.

  • Be good to yourself.

  • Take good care of yourself.

  • Okay, so this means, take good care of

  • yourself, be good to you.

  • Now, the next one, the final one is

  • "Catch ya later!"

  • Now, the word "catch" means catch.

  • Okay, so I "caught" the marker.

  • So if you say "Catch ya later!"

  • you're not actually catching a person.

  • This is similar to "See ya later!"

  • "I'll catch ya later."

  • "I will see you later."

  • Catch ya later, See ya later.

  • Okay, so guys, these are 5 common ways to

  • say goodbye in English.

  • If you are tired of just saying,

  • Bye.

  • Goodbye.

  • Bye-bye.

  • Practice some of these expressions,

  • very very common.

  • "Okay, take it easy!"

  • "Have a good one!"

  • "Take care!"

  • "Catch ya later!"

  • "See ya!"

  • The most common one is probably

  • "See ya." or "See you."

  • "See you later." "See you tomorrow."

  • "See you on the weekend"

  • "See you after school."

  • But you can use anyone of these,

  • and a native English speaker will

  • be able to understand you if you

  • use these expressions.

  • Okay guys, if you want to test

  • your knowledge of these expressions,

  • and make sure that you understood them

  • and remember the structure of

  • them clearly, you can check out the quiz

  • on engvid.com

  • Until next time. Good luck, and

  • See ya later!

Hey guys, I'm Alex.
