Introduction
This post deals with saying goodbye to someone you don't know quite well in the morning.
- You see someone on the street, but you don't stop to talk to him/ her
- You meet someone in the street, in a shop, etc. After a chat you want to say goodbye
- You call someone on the phone. After a chat, you want to say goodbye
Imagine the person in question is someone you don't know well and you are not on first name terms with that person (he/ she could be a relative, an acquaintance, a work colleague, etc.)
OUR TIP
Saying goodbye to someone in those circumstances should be quite straightforward. A simple "adiós" (goodbye) may be sufficient. Since it is in the morning, you could add a "buenos días" (good morning). It would also be nice to include the name of the person you are saying goodbye to. So, assuming you want to say goodbye to someone called Carlos Pérez you could say:- ¡Adiós, buenos días, don Carlos!
- ¡Adiós, buenos días, señor Pérez!
If instead you wanted to say goodbye to someone called Ana Flores you could say:
- ¡Adiós, buenos días, doña Ana!
- ¡Adiós, buenos días, señora Flores!
Now you should practise saying goodbye to other people
