Hey guys, I'm Alex. Thanks for clicking and welcome to this lesson on 5 ways, 5 ways to
say goodbye. Now, in English, you probably know if you're watching this video, the most
common way to say goodbye or some of the more formal ways to say goodbye. Again, the most
common one is goodbye, right? Or bye, or bye bye. So, if you're familiar with those ones,
I have 5 more on the board that you can use, okay? One way to say goodbye is see ya. Now,
what is ya? Ya is simply you. In spoken English, many native speakers, instead of saying you
when they're saying goodbye, would not say see you. You can say see you, but it's also
possible to say, all right, see ya. Now, this is much more informal among friends, co-workers,
classmates, people you know well, okay? So, see ya just means see you, right? So, we'll
put that here. Now, see you, you can follow this with a time as well. So, you can say,
all right, see ya later. See ya on the weekend. See ya tomorrow, or see you tomorrow. Or you
can say see you next week. See you after school. See you after work. See ya, all right? So,
you can give a time when you will see the person again.
The next expression is take it easy. Okay, so if I say, if you say, all right, goodbye,
Alex. I say, all right, bye, take it easy. This means take it easy. It means relax, okay?
This means don't stress yourself too much. Be relaxed, okay? Don't stress yourself too
much. Now, if you have been working very hard and it's the end of the work day, I might
say this to you, okay, take it easy. This means have an easy day. Have a relaxed day,
okay?
Now, the next expression, have a good one. What is one? Here you're talking about a day,
right? Have a good day. So, if you tell someone, okay, have a good one, you're just saying
have a good day. This is a nice wish for a person, right? You're just saying, all right,
I hope you have a very nice day. Have a good one. That's it.
Next one, take care. Take care. Now, I use this at the end of a lot of my videos, most
of my videos, and to take care means to take good care of yourself. Be good to yourself,
okay? So, take good care of yourself, okay? So, this means take good care of yourself.
Now, the next one, the final one, is catch you later. Now, the verb catch means catch,
okay? So, I caught the marker. So, if you say catch you later, you're not actually catching
a person. This is similar to see you later. I'll catch you later. I will see you later.
Catch you later. See you later.
Okay. So, guys, these are five common ways to say goodbye in English if you are tired
of just saying bye, goodbye, bye-bye. Practice some of these expressions. Very, very common.
Okay, take it easy. Have a good one. Take care. Catch you later. See ya. Now, the most
common one is probably see ya or see you. So, see you later. See you tomorrow. See you
on the weekend, okay? See you after school. But you can use any one of these, and a native
English speaker will be able to understand you if you use these expressions.
