How do you say goodbye our friends in Afrikaans?

There are a few ways to say goodbye to friends in Afrikaans, depending on the context and level of formality:

Formal:

* Totsiens: This is the most common and formal way to say goodbye. It literally translates to "until we see each other again."

* Goeiedag: This translates to "good day" and is a polite way to say goodbye, especially if you are leaving someone for the day.

Informal:

* Totsiens: This is also used informally, but it is often shortened to "Toets."

* Later: This is a more casual way to say goodbye, similar to the English "later."

* Doei: This is a very informal and friendly way to say goodbye, similar to the English "bye."

* Môre: This translates to "morning" and is used to say goodbye in the morning, even if it's not literally morning.

* Sien jou: This means "see you" and is a friendly way to say goodbye.

Adding a little extra:

* Geniet jou dag! (Enjoy your day!)

* Sterkte! (Good luck!)

* Alles goed! (Everything good!)

You can choose the best option depending on the situation and your relationship with your friends.
