adeus / ata logo / ata mañá
Farewells
Say goodbye with adeus. To say when you will see someone again, use ata (until) plus a time word: ata logo (see you later), ata mañá (see you tomorrow).
How It Works
Adeus. The general word for goodbye. It suits both friends and strangers: Adeus, Carme! Among friends you will also hear abur and chao.
Ata + time. Ata means "until", so these farewells literally say "until later", "until tomorrow" and so on:
- ata logo: see you later (the same day, or just a friendly goodbye)
- ata mañá: see you tomorrow
- ata despois: see you afterwards
- ata o luns: see you on Monday. Days take the article o. See dates and days.
Mañá. The word for "tomorrow" ends in -á with an accent and no n: mañá. See time words.
At night. Boas noites works as a goodbye too, often together with another farewell: Boas noites, ata mañá! See greetings.
