The 'Dutch Goodbye' involves announcing you are leaving ('Ik ga weg'), but then spending a significant amount of time actually saying goodbye at the door. It is considered polite to give a 5-10 minute warning. Flemish speakers might use 'Ik ben weg' or 'Ik ga vertrekken' more often than 'Ik ga weg', which can sound slightly more 'Northern Dutch' or direct to some Flemish ears. In Dutch offices, saying 'Ik ga weg' at the end of your contracted hours is respected. There is little pressure to stay late just for appearances. If someone says 'Ik ga weg' during a conversation, it is usually not meant to be rude. It is simply a statement of fact that they have other commitments.
The 'Zijn' Rule
Always remember that 'weggaan' uses 'zijn' in the past. If you say 'Ik heb weggegaan,' Dutch people will understand you, but it's a clear sign of a beginner.
Don't be too blunt
While 'Ik ga weg' is neutral, adding a 'Bedankt' or 'Tot ziens' makes it much friendlier.
