* Wa'kwa:ˈni' (pronounced "wa-kwa-ni") - This means "see you again" and is a more polite way to say goodbye.

Informal:

Other options:

* Wa'kwa:ˈni' k’wi:ˈyoh' (pronounced "wa-kwa-ni kwee-yoh") - This means "see you again later" and is a good choice for a goodbye that isn't too formal.

* Wa:ˈkon' (pronounced "wa-kon") - This means "take care" and is a good way to say goodbye to someone you care about.
