### Saying goodbye

**La revedere** fits every goodbye. When you know when you will meet again, Romanian says so with **pe**: **pe mâine** (see you tomorrow), **pe curând** (see you soon). And when someone leaves for the day, wish them **o zi bună** (have a nice day).

| you say | it means | when |
|---|---|---|
| **pe mâine** | see you tomorrow | you meet again tomorrow |
| **pe curând** | see you soon | you will meet again soon |
| **o zi bună** | have a nice day | leaving a shop, ending a call |
| **drum bun** | have a good trip | someone is traveling |

### Traveling and arriving

**Drum bun** (literally *good road*) is what you say to anyone setting off on a journey. Someone arriving hears **bun venit** — the sign at the airport says it too. It means the same as **bine ați venit**, the welcome you already know.

### Sărut-mâna

**Sărut-mâna** (*I kiss your hand*) is a traditional, very respectful greeting for a woman or an older person — a child to a grandmother, a man to a lady. Nobody kisses a hand any more; the words are just a warm, polite hello or goodbye. It is written with a hyphen.

### See you, good luck

**Ne vedem** (*we'll see each other*) is the everyday *see you* — add a time: *ne vedem mâine*, *ne vedem la cinci*. Before an exam or an interview, wish **succes!** — *good luck!* (the noun *succesul* is *the success*).
