Word used when leaving
Used when you leave a person or place, or end a call or talk.
Mẫu sử dụng:
"Goodbye," [someone] said.
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes use "Goodbye" in very casual texts or messages where native speakers usually write just "Bye" or "See you"; this can sound too formal or cold. They also confuse "Goodbye" with time-based farewells like "Good night" and say *"Goodbye"* when going to bed, which sounds unusual; in that case, "Good night" is preferred.

|
farewell (More formal or literary; can sound serious or old-fashioned in everyday speech.)
