Goodbye, Arrivedderci, bye,...

We have already hinted elsewhere that we want to create a collection of synonyms or translations for the short Cologne dialect word "Tschö", perhaps with your help.

As short as the word is, it has a lot of meaning: I'm through the door now, take care, I wish you all the best, we'll see each other again.

Five letters with a lot of meaning. Unlike the Viennese, who launch into a veritable torrent of words: Bye-bye, kisses, see you soon!

But let's begin in Germany:

High German

• Auf Wiedersehen - Goodbye (English)

Northern Germany

• Atschüs

• Moin

• Tschüssing

• Tüüs

Rhineland

• Tschüs - Bye (English)

• Tschö - Bye (English)

• Machet - Make it (English)

East Germany

• Tschüssi - Bye

Bayern / Austria

• Servus (Bussi, Baba angehängt) - Hello (Bussi, Baba attached)

• Pfiat di - Goodbye

• „Küss die Hand, habe d'Ehre" - "Kiss your hand, have the honor"

It will also be exciting internationally;

• English: Goodbye, See you soon, See you

• Portuguese: adeus

• Croatian: dovidenja

• Czech: nashledanou

• Danish: farvel

• Dutch: tot ziens

• European Spanish: adios

• Finnish: nakemiin

• French: au revoir

• Greek: avTío

• Italian: arrivederci

• Norwegian: ha det

• Polish: do widzenia

• Romanian: la revedere

• Swedish: adjö

• Turkish: hosça kal

• Vietnamese: tạm biệt

• Arabic: Ma’a salama

Perhaps one or two of you would like to give us some tips on how to expand the list!?
