A multigenerational family embracing

Here are a few ways to say goodbye in Russian, with options suitable for when you're at the door: **Most Common and Versatile:** * **До свидания (Do svidaniya)** - This is the most standard and polite way to say "goodbye." It literally means "until the next meeting." You can use this in almost any situation. **More Informal/Friendly:** * **Пока (Poka)** - This is the equivalent of "bye" or "see ya." It's much more informal and used with friends, family, or people you know well. **When Leaving at the Door (Slightly More Specific):** * **Счастливо (Schastlivo)** - This means "happily" or "be happy." It's often used as a warmer, slightly more personal way to say goodbye, especially when parting with someone you know. It implies "Go well and be happy." * **Всего доброго (Vsego dobrogo)** - This translates to "All the best." It's a kind and warm way to say goodbye, suitable for both familiar and less familiar people. **When you are leaving and the other person is staying:** * **Ухожу (Ukhodzhu)** - I'm leaving. (This is not a direct goodbye, but informs the other person.) **When they are leaving and you are staying:** * **Вы уходите? (Vy ukhodite?)** - Are you leaving? * **Счастливого пути! (Schastlivogo puti!)** - Have a good trip! (If they are going on a journey.) **At the door, the most common and appropriate for most situations would be:** * **До свидания (Do svidaniya)** * **Счастливо (Schastlivo)** (if you know them well) * **Всего доброго (Vsego dobrogo)** (a nice general option) **If you're in a very casual setting with friends:** * **Пока (Poka)**
