How do you say goodbye in Yoruba language?

There are several ways to say goodbye in Yoruba, depending on the context and the level of formality:

Formal:

* E ku ire o: This is the most formal way to say goodbye. It literally means "May you have peace".

* E kaabo: This means "Welcome" but can also be used as a formal goodbye.

Informal:

* Mo dupe o: This means "Thank you" and is commonly used as a way to say goodbye in casual settings.

* A dara: This means "It is good" and is a common, informal way to say goodbye.

* O daabo: This means "Have a good day" and is a more casual and friendly way to say goodbye.

* E se o: This is another casual goodbye, meaning "Okay" or "Alright".

More specific goodbyes:

* E seun: This means "Thank you" and is used to express gratitude for something specific.

* E gbà mí o: This means "Forgive me" and is used when saying goodbye after a mistake or an awkward situation.

* E se o, mo n lọ: This means "Okay, I'm going" and is used when leaving a conversation or a place.

The best way to choose which goodbye to use is to consider the relationship you have with the person you are saying goodbye to and the context of the situation.
