An informal farewell, wishing someone well.
خلفية ثقافية
In Germany, 'Mach's gut' is often paired with a handshake or a brief hug (among close friends). It is a staple of 'Feierabend' (end of work) culture. While 'Mach's gut' is common, Austrians might use 'Pfiat di' (God protect you) in more traditional or rural settings, which carries a similar weight of well-wishing. Swiss German speakers often use 'Mach's guet' (the dialect version). It is used frequently in the same informal contexts as in Germany.
The 's' is key
Always include the 's'. 'Mach gut' sounds like you're a robot with a missing file.
Watch your boss
Unless your boss specifically asked to be called 'du', stick to 'Auf Wiedersehen'.
