So, how do you correctly say “goodbye” when in France?
1. Say “au revoir” in any setting. This is the standard French translation of the English “goodbye” and it can be used in both casual and formal settings, with strangers and friends alike.
Pronounce au revere as oh duh-vwar.
2. Use “salut” informally. You can use salut as a way of saying “bye” when among friends or in other casual settings.
Pronounce salut as sah-loo.
3. While adieu is no longer as common as it once was, it can still be used in most contexts as a way of saying farewell.
A rough pronunciation of adieu would be and-joo.
