How to say Goodbye when in Hungary (pronunciation)?
In Hungarian, there are several ways to say goodbye: • "Szia" (see-yah) or "sziasztok" (see-yah-stoke): A friendly "hi" or "bye" to one person or to more than one person. This greeting form is often doubled up by saying "szia-szia". • "Jó éjszakát" (yoh ey-sa-kat): "Good night". You can use this both in a formal or informal conversation. • "Viszontlátásra" (vee-saunt-lah-tahs-ra): "Goodbye". This is a formal term for farewell. In friendly company, you can simply say "szia", as explained above. • "Puszi" (poo-see): "Kiss (on the cheek)". Upon concluding a face-to-face meeting or a phone call, close friends simply use this word to say goodbye. Often, you can hear "puszi" combined with "szia", creating the phrase "szia-szia, puszi-puszi".
