Short way to say goodbye
You say this when you leave a person, a place, or a call.
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse the spelling of "bye" with "by" and "buy". "Bye" is only for saying goodbye; "by" is a preposition ("by the door") and "buy" is a verb ("to buy food"). Another common mistake is using "bye" in very formal emails, where closings like "Best regards" or "Sincerely" are more appropriate.
Synonyma
goodbye (Slightly more complete and sometimes a bit more formal than just "bye".)
|
see you (Sounds friendly and suggests you will meet again; not used on phone calls as a strict farewell closing.)
|
bye-bye (More childish or playful; often used with small children or between very close people.)
Antonyma
hello (Said when you first meet or greet someone, the opposite point in the interaction from saying "bye".)
|
hi (Informal greeting used at the start of contact, contrasting with "bye" used at the end.)

Automatic advance in a tournament
A time in a sports game or match when a player or team moves to the next round without playing anyone.
Vzorec užití:
get [a] bye (to [the next round])
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes think "bye" here means saying goodbye. In sports, "a bye" is a noun for skipping a round. It is normally used with an article ("a bye", "the bye") and often with another noun, as in "a first-round bye" or "a bye week".
Synonyma
automatic advance (More descriptive and formal; clearly explains the idea but is not a fixed sports term.)
|
free pass (Informal; can sound casual or slightly humorous, not a strict technical term.)
Antonyma
play-in game (In sports, an extra game that must be played to qualify, the opposite of advancing without playing.)
|
elimination (Being removed from a competition, the opposite outcome of progressing to the next round.)

Cricket runs from missed ball
In cricket, points (runs) the batting team gets when the ball does not hit the bat or the batter, but they still run.
Vzorec užití:
score [number] byes
Častá chyba:
Learners may confuse "byes" with "leg byes" in cricket. Byes are runs when the ball does not touch the bat or the batter; leg byes are runs when the ball touches the batter's body (usually the leg) but not the bat. Another mistake is using "bye" in the singular for multiple runs; in cricket you normally say "two byes", "four byes".
Synonyma
extras (A broader cricket term that includes byes and other non-bat runs; not specific to this type of run.)
Antonyma
runs off the bat (Runs scored from hitting the ball with the bat, the opposite of runs scored when the ball is missed.)
Kolokace
score byes
|concede byes
|a single bye
|four byes
|leg byes
