You Just slip out the back, Jack
Make a new plan, Stan
You don't need to be coy, Roy
Just get yourself free
Hop on the bus, Gus
You don't need to discuss much
Just drop off the key, Lee
And get yourself free

Paul Simon......dancing

English is unusual in that "goodbye" can mean either "see you again soon" or "you will never hear from me again".

In most languages, there are different terms, one for someone you expect to see again, and one for someone you don't. Saying to a chatmate in Latin America, for example "I'm off to be now, goodbye" will be seen as a sign that you are not interested in communicating ever again, not that you will message them again in the morning.

Bnaughty: "I'm off to be now, goodbye" What does that mean?
"I'm off to bed now" means, it is night time where I am, and I am about to go to my bedroom and sleep.

"Goodbye" means (in English), I am leaving now, and wishing you well. (It is rude to end a conversation without saying goodbye).

My point was that, in Spanish, goodbye translates to adios, which will imply a "forever" goodbye, whereas what we really mean is more akin to "chao".

In Hawaiian, the word, "Aloha," comes from the words, "alo" and "ha."

Alo, means: present.

Ha, means: breath, God's breath and our breath.

When our breath is present in us, we feel love towards every living thing.

This is why "alo" and "ha" make up the word... "Aloha."

Aloha means: Hello, Goodbye, and I love you.

It has the same meaning for family and strangers.

Aloha kekakihaka, means, Good morning.

Aloha nui loa, means: Aloha big and long. In English, it could be translated as, I love you very much.

Aloha ke Akua, means: God is presence of breath; which is translated in the Hawaiian Bible as, God is love.


Aloha oe', means: We'll never see eachother again.

Good Morning in Hawaiian, is: Aloha kakahiaka.
