Goodbyes are often accompanied by placing the right hand over the heart as a sign of sincerity and respect. In this region, speech is known for being exceptionally polite. You might hear 'Yaxshi qoling' followed by a long string of other well-wishes. In the capital, 'Yaxshi qoling' is often shortened or mixed with Russian 'Poka', but 'Yaxshi qoling' remains the standard for any formal interaction. Due to the Tajik influence, you might hear Persian-rooted goodbyes, but 'Yaxshi qoling' is universally understood and used in all Uzbek-speaking contexts.
