معنی
A casual farewell said to someone who is leaving.
زمینه فرهنگی
It is common to repeat the phrase multiple times while waving. A single '잘 가요' might seem abrupt. Saying it 2-3 times shows more warmth. When a superior leaves, subordinates often bow and say '안녕히 가십시오'. '잘 가요' is reserved for colleagues of the same rank or lower. On KakaoTalk, people often use the abbreviation 'ㅈㄱㅇ' or stickers of characters waving to represent '잘 가요'. In villages, elders might say '살펴 가' which is a more traditional version of '잘 가', emphasizing watching the path for stones or holes.
The Wave
Always wave your hand when saying this. In Korea, a stationary goodbye without a gesture can feel cold.
The 'Stay' Trap
If you are the one leaving, your brain will want to say '잘 가요' because it's the first goodbye you learned. Stop! Say '안녕히 계세요' instead.
