Lesson Transcript

Let’s take a closer look at each of these expressions.
Do zobaczenia is fairly informal, which indicates a close relationship between Karen and Marianna Michalska her former homestay mother.
Do you remember how Sasha says,
"Goodnight."
Dobranoc. "Goodnight." Dobranoc.
Dobranoc literally means "Goodnight." Dobranoc.
Dobranoc.
You use dobranoc, "Goodnight," when you don’t plan on seeing someone again that night and often when someone is about to go to bed. In this case, it’s like saying "have a good night's sleep."
Do you remember how Ben says,
"Goodbye."
Do widzenia. "Goodbye.” Do widzenia.
Do widzenia, literally means "until seeing," but translates as "goodbye."
Do widzenia is suitable for formal situations; for example, Ben uses this expression since Marianna is older than him.
Do you remember how Marianna says?
"See you. Bye!"
Do zobaczenia. Pa! "See you. Bye!" Do zobaczenia. Pa!
First is Do zobaczenia. "See you." Do zobaczenia.
Next is pa, which translates as "bye." Pa. Pa.
All together, Do zobaczenia. Pa! "See you. Bye!"
Do zobaczenia. Pa!
This sentence is informal. Marianna uses this to say goodbye to everyone. She's the most senior person in the conversation, and she uses informal language to sound friendly.
Note, Pa, “Bye,” can be used alone as an informal parting greeting.
You may be familiar with cześć as a greeting meaning "hi," but it can also be used as a parting greeting meaning "bye."
Cześć! “Bye.” Cześć!
