| Hi, everybody! |
| Do you know how to say “Bye” in Arabic? In this lesson, you'll learn three parting expressions in Arabic. |
| Let’s start with the easiest one. |
| مع السلامة |
| [slowly] مع السلامة |
| This means "Goodbye" in Arabic. It literally means "Go in peace." |
| The first word, maca (مع), means "with," and the second word, as-salaama (السلامة), means "peace." It's important to remember that you must stress the s's in order to pronounce the word correctly. |
| If you want to say "bye" at night, as a male speaker, you can use this phrase. |
| تصبح على خير |
| [slowly] تصبح على خير |
| This means "Good night" in Arabic. Note that this is the masculine form. |
| tuSbiH (تصبح) is the conjugated form of a word similar to "become." Following this is cala (على), which means "on." And the last word is khayr (خير), which means "good." |
| If you are a female speaker and you want to say "good night," here's a phrase for you. |
| تصبحي على خير |
| [slowly] تصبحي على خير |
| This is the feminine form. This means "Good night" in Arabic. |
| When addressing a woman, we must first conjugate the verb tuSbih to the feminine form tuSbihi (تصبحي). This changes the expression "good night" to tuSbiHii cala khayr. |
| Let's wrap up this lesson by recapping what you've learned. Listen to the words and repeat after me. |
| "Goodbye" or literally "go in peace." |

| In Arabic, there's another way of saying goodbye, especially if you know you're going to see the other person again. If this is the case, you'd say, ila al-liqaa (الى اللقاء). This phrase can be used both among friends and in more formal gatherings. Translated literally, this phrase means "so long" or "until we meet again." |
