What do the Japanese say every time you leave?

The Japanese phrase most commonly used when someone leaves is "いってらっしゃい" (itte rasshai).

This phrase literally means "Go and come back", but it's more like a combination of "Have a good day" and "See you later."

Here's a breakdown of when you would use it:

* When someone is leaving the house: This is the most common usage. You'd say "itte rasshai" to someone going to work, school, or running errands.

* When someone is leaving a specific location: You can also use "itte rasshai" when someone is leaving a place like a restaurant, a friend's house, or a store.

Other phrases:

* "お元気で" (ogenki de) - This phrase means "Stay well" and is a more formal way to say goodbye.

* "またね" (mata ne) - This phrase means "See you later" and is a more casual way to say goodbye.

The best choice of phrase depends on the context and your relationship with the person.
