Lesson Transcript

Hi, everybody!
Do you know how to say “Bye” in Greek? In this lesson, you'll learn three parting expressions in Greek.
Let’s start with the easiest one.
Αντίο.
[slowly] Αντίο.
This means "Goodbye" in Greek.
We can use this parting expression for any occasion.
If you want to say "bye" in the evening or night, there is a different phrase you should use.
Καλό βράδυ.
[slowly] Καλό βράδυ.
This means "Good evening" in Greek.
When parting or saying goodbye at night, the expression Kaló Vrádi is used. The first word, Kaló, means "good," and the next word, Vrádi, means "evening," in Greek.
If you know that you are going to see the person again, here's a phrase for you.
Τα λέμε.
[slowly] Τα λέμε.
This means "See you soon" in Greek.
In Greek, there are several ways to say "see you later" or "see you soon." Ta léme, for example, which means "we talk."
Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what you've learned. Listen to the words and repeat after me.
