How do you say goodbye and goodluck in Maori?

Here are some ways to say goodbye and good luck in Māori:

Goodbye:

* Kia ora! (General greeting, also used for goodbye)

* Arohanui! (With love)

* Ka kite! (See you later)

* Haere ra! (Go well!)

* Tena koe! (Goodbye, respectful)

Good luck:

* Kia kaha! (Be strong!)

* Mauru ora! (Good health!)

* He pai te wa! (Have a good time!)

* Manaakitanga! (Blessings/May you be well-cared for)

You can combine these phrases to create a more complete farewell:

* Kia ora, haere ra, kia kaha! (Goodbye, go well, be strong!)

* Arohanui, mauru ora, he pai te wa! (With love, good health, have a good time!)

It's always good to consider the context and your relationship with the person you are saying goodbye to. A simple "kia ora" might be appropriate for a casual encounter, while "aroha nui" is more suitable for a close friend or family member.
