A2 interjection #1,000 よく出る 10分で読める

Tschüs

上位1,000

At the A1 level, 'Tschüs' is one of the very first words you should learn alongside 'Hallo' and 'Danke'. It is the basic building block for ending any conversation. At this stage, you don't need to worry about the complex history of the word or its regional variations. Your goal is simply to recognize it when you hear it and use it confidently when leaving a shop or saying goodbye to your teacher or classmates. It is much easier to pronounce than 'Auf Wiedersehen' and is more commonly used in everyday life. You will notice that Germans often say it with a short, sharp 'ü' sound. It is an interjection, which means it doesn't change—no grammar rules apply to it! Just say 'Tschüs' and you are doing great. You can also learn 'Tschüs, bis bald' (Bye, see you soon) as a simple phrase to sound more natural. Remember, it is informal, but in modern Germany, it is polite enough for almost any situation a tourist or beginner will encounter. If you go to a bakery, buy a pretzel, and say 'Tschüs' as you leave, you are already speaking like a local.

At the A2 level, you should start to notice the different ways 'Tschüs' is used in combination with other words. You are moving beyond simple one-word utterances. You can now use 'Tschüs' with specific time indicators, such as 'Tschüs, bis morgen' (Bye, until tomorrow) or 'Tschüs, bis nächste Woche' (Bye, until next week). You should also be aware of the spelling: both 'Tschüs' and 'Tschüss' are correct, though the latter is more frequent in modern texts. At this level, you might also start to encounter regional differences. While you use 'Tschüs' in Berlin or Hamburg, you might hear 'Servus' in Munich. Understanding that 'Tschüs' is the 'neutral' informal choice is key. You should also practice the intonation. A friendly 'Tschüs!' often has a slightly rising pitch at the end, which makes you sound more approachable. You can also start using it in short emails or text messages to friends. It is the perfect way to end a message that started with 'Hallo' or 'Hi'.

At the B1 level, you are expected to understand the 'register' of the language more deeply. This means knowing exactly when 'Tschüs' is appropriate and when it might be slightly too informal. For example, in a professional email to a new client, you would still use 'Mit freundlichen Grüßen', but in an internal Slack message to a colleague, 'Tschüs' or 'Viele Grüße' followed by 'Tschüs' is perfect. You should also be familiar with the diminutive 'Tschüssi'. While you might not use it yourself, you will hear it used by others to express a high degree of familiarity or a playful mood. You can also start using 'Tschüs' in more complex closing sequences, such as 'Also, ich mach mich dann mal auf den Weg, tschüs zusammen!' (Well, I'm heading off now, bye everyone!). At B1, you should also be able to distinguish between 'Tschüs' and 'Ciao', recognizing that 'Ciao' is often used by the same people in the same contexts but has a slightly more urban, trendy feel.

At the B2 level, you should have a firm grasp of the social nuances of 'Tschüs'. You understand that while it is informal, it has become a 'standard' goodbye in many service industries. You can analyze why a waiter might say 'Tschüs' to you (to create a friendly, relaxed atmosphere) versus why a bank manager might say 'Auf Wiedersehen' (to maintain professional distance). You should also be comfortable with the Northern German habit of doubling the word ('Tschüs-tschüs') and understand that this isn't a different word, but a stylistic choice that conveys warmth. Your pronunciation should be near-perfect, specifically the 'ü' sound and the 'tsch' cluster. You can also use 'Tschüs' in more idiomatic ways, perhaps even ironically or in joking contexts like 'Tschüssikowski'. You are now able to navigate the subtle line between being friendly and being overly familiar, using 'Tschüs' as a tool to set the tone of your social interactions.

At the C1 level, you can appreciate the etymological journey of 'Tschüs' from the French 'Adieu' through Low German 'Adjüs'. You understand how language evolves and how a word that was once considered a dialectal variant became the national standard for informal goodbyes. You can participate in discussions about language change and regionalism, perhaps comparing 'Tschüs' to 'Servus', 'Ade', or 'Grüß Gott'. You are also sensitive to the 'sing-song' intonation used on the phone and can replicate it to sound like a native speaker. You know that 'Tschüs' can sometimes be used dismissively if said with a flat, falling intonation, and you can pick up on these subtle emotional cues in conversation. In writing, you know exactly which variation of a goodbye fits the specific 'corporate culture' of a German company, knowing when 'Tschüs' signals that you have truly become part of the team.

At the C2 level, your mastery of 'Tschüs' is complete. You use it with the same effortless spontaneity as a native speaker. you can play with the word, using its various forms (Tschüssi, Tschüssing, Tschüssikowski) to achieve specific rhetorical effects or to fit into very specific subcultures. You might even use it in creative writing to establish a character's regional background or social class. You understand the historical pushback against the word in the 20th century, when some purists felt it was 'too Northern' or 'too informal' for Standard German, and how it eventually triumphed. You can explain these nuances to others, acting as a bridge between cultures. For you, 'Tschüs' is not just a word for goodbye; it is a symbol of the modern, relaxed, and unified German language that has moved past the rigid formalities of the past while still maintaining a clear distinction between the private and public spheres.

練習する例文メモとヒント

Tschüs 30秒で

Tschüs is the standard informal German goodbye.
It is used in both Northern and Southern Germany.
The word is derived from the French 'adieu'.
It is safe for friends, family, and casual shopping.

The German word Tschüs is the quintessential informal farewell in the German language. While many beginners are first taught the formal Auf Wiedersehen, Tschüs is what you will actually hear in roughly 90% of daily interactions in Germany, especially in central and northern regions. It is friendly, efficient, and versatile. It functions similarly to 'Bye' or 'See ya' in English, bridging the gap between close friends and polite interactions with strangers in low-stakes environments like a bakery or a supermarket.

Linguistic Origin: Derived from the Low German 'adjüs', which itself comes from the French 'adieu' (to God). Over centuries, the 'a' was dropped and the 'd' softened into the 'tsch' sound we hear today.
Social Function: It signals a friendly conclusion to an encounter. It is informal but not disrespectful, making it the 'safe' choice for most social situations outside of high-level corporate meetings or formal ceremonies.

Na dann, Tschüs! Bis zum nächsten Mal!

In terms of regionality, while Tschüs originated in the North, it has successfully conquered almost the entire German-speaking world. In the South (Bavaria and Austria), you might still hear Servus or Pfiadi, but even there, Tschüs is understood and widely used by younger generations. It is the 'Standard German' of informal goodbyes. The spelling can vary between Tschüs (with one 's') and Tschüss (with two). The version with one 's' indicates a longer vowel sound, which is often used when the word is sung or drawn out at the end of a phone call.

Alles klar, Tschüs zusammen!

Spelling Variations: Tschüs (traditional/long vowel) vs. Tschüss (modern/short vowel). Both are accepted, though 'Tschüss' is increasingly common in digital communication.

Schönen Feierabend, Tschüs!

Oma, ich gehe jetzt. Tschüs!

Intonation: A rising intonation on the 'ü' makes it sound more enthusiastic, while a falling intonation is more neutral and final.

Also dann, Tschüs und danke!

Using Tschüs is remarkably straightforward because it is an interjection. This means it doesn't need to be conjugated, and it doesn't change based on the case or gender of the person you are speaking to. It usually stands alone or at the very end of a sentence. However, the way you surround it with other words can change the 'vibe' of your departure from a quick exit to a warm farewell.

Standing Alone: Simply saying 'Tschüs!' is the most common way to use it. It is perfect for leaving a shop, hanging up the phone with a friend, or walking out of a room.

Ich muss zum Bus. Tschüs!

To make it sound more natural, Germans often combine it with 'dann' (then) or 'na' (well). 'Na dann, tschüs!' implies that the conversation has reached its natural conclusion and it is time to part ways. You can also add 'zusammen' (together) if you are saying goodbye to a group of people. This is very common in office settings or among groups of friends.

Tschüs, bis morgen in der Schule!

With Time Expressions: Pairing 'Tschüs' with 'bis...' (until) is very common. For example: 'Tschüs, bis bald!' (Bye, see you soon!) or 'Tschüs, bis Montag!' (Bye, see you Monday!).

Viel Spaß noch! Tschüs!

Another variation is the diminutive Tschüssi. This is extremely informal and often considered 'cute' or 'sweet'. It is mostly used by women, children, or among very close friends. Using Tschüssi in a professional setting might be seen as overly childish or unprofessional, so stick to the standard Tschüs unless you are certain of the social dynamic.

Schönes Wochenende! Tschüs!

In Writing: In emails or texts, 'Tschüs' is common for closing. It is often followed by a comma and then the sender's name on the next line.

Ich melde mich später. Tschüs!

If you walk down a street in Berlin, Hamburg, or Cologne, you will hear Tschüs constantly. It is the soundtrack of the German departure. One of the most common places to hear it is in retail. When you finish paying for your groceries at Aldi or Lidl, the cashier will almost invariably say 'Schönen Tag noch!' (Have a nice day!), to which you can respond 'Danke, gleichfalls! Tschüs!'

Public Transport: When friends get off at different stops on the U-Bahn, a quick 'Tschüs!' is shouted over the closing doors. It is the perfect word for a fast-paced urban environment.

Der Zug kommt! Tschüs, wir telefonieren!

On the telephone, Tschüs is the standard way to end a call with anyone you are on a first-name basis with. Interestingly, many Germans use a specific melodic intonation on the phone, often going up in pitch on the 'ü' and then down, making it sound almost like a little song. This 'sing-song' goodbye is a cultural marker of a friendly, successful conversation.

Ja, machen wir so. Tschüs!

The 'Tschüs' vs. 'Ciao' Divide: In many urban areas, 'Ciao' (borrowed from Italian) is a major competitor to 'Tschüs'. Younger people often use them interchangeably, but 'Tschüs' remains the more 'German' option.

Bis heute Abend! Tschüs!

In Southern Germany and Austria, you will notice a shift. While Tschüs is known, you are more likely to hear 'Servus' in a pub or 'Grüß Gott' (as a greeting and sometimes a farewell) in more traditional settings. However, even in Munich, if you say Tschüs to a young person, it will sound perfectly normal. It has become the 'lingua franca' of German goodbyes.

Danke für den Kaffee! Tschüs!

Media and TV: News anchors will almost never say 'Tschüs' (they prefer 'Auf Wiedersehen'), but characters in soap operas, movies, and YouTube videos use it constantly.

Ich bin dann mal weg. Tschüs!

One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is over-relying on Auf Wiedersehen because it is the first word they learn. While not 'wrong', using Auf Wiedersehen with a group of friends at a bar sounds incredibly stiff and formal—almost like saying 'Farewell, until we meet again' in English. The mistake here is a 'register' error rather than a grammatical one. Using Tschüs correctly shows you understand the social fabric of Germany.

The 'U' vs 'Ü' Error: Many learners pronounce it as 'Tschus' (rhyming with 'bus'). This is incorrect. The 'ü' is vital. If you can't quite get the 'ü' sound, try to say 'cheese' but with your lips rounded as if you are whistling.

Falsch: Tschus. Richtig: Tschüs.

Another common pitfall is the spelling. English speakers often want to add a 'z' or leave out the 'h'. Remember the 'T-S-C-H' block, which is the standard German way to produce the 'ch' sound as in 'church'. Also, don't forget the 's' at the end. Writing 'Tschü' is a common typo but doesn't exist as a word.

Herr Müller, Tschüs! (Wait, is this okay? Only if you have a very relaxed relationship!)

Regional Missteps: While 'Tschüs' is universal, using it in a very traditional Bavarian village might get you a slightly confused look from an older person who expects 'Pfiadi'. It's not a mistake, but it marks you as an outsider.

Ich gehe jetzt schlafen. Tschüs!

Finally, don't confuse Tschüs with Ciao when you want to sound very formal. If you are at a government office (Bürgeramt), it is safer to stick with 'Auf Wiedersehen'. Tschüs is for when the interaction has been personal and friendly. If the clerk was very robotic and formal, 'Auf Wiedersehen' is the respectful way to match their energy.

Gute Nacht und Tschüs!

The 'Tschüssikowski' Joke: You might hear 'Tschüssikowski'. This is a 1980s-era joke slang. Using it today makes you sound like a 'dad joke' enthusiast. Use with caution!

Bis dann, Tschüs!

While Tschüs is the king of informal goodbyes, it has several 'cousins' that you should know to vary your vocabulary and understand different social contexts. Depending on where you are in Germany and who you are talking to, one of these might be more appropriate.

Ciao: Extremely common in cities. It feels slightly more 'cool' or 'international' than Tschüs. Used exactly the same way.
Bis bald / Bis dann: 'Until soon' or 'Until then'. These are great because they imply you will see the person again soon. They are often paired with Tschüs.

Ciao! Tschüs! Bis morgen!

In Southern Germany, Switzerland, and Austria, the alternatives are much stronger. Servus is a powerhouse word that works for both 'hello' and 'goodbye'. It comes from Latin and literally means 'at your service'. It's informal but carries a certain traditional weight. Then there is Ade, which is common in Baden-Württemberg and is a direct descendant of 'Adieu'.

Schönen Tag noch! Tschüs!

Machet jut! (Berlin Dialect): Literally 'Make it good'. This is the Berlin way of saying 'Take care'. It's very informal and local.
Schönen Feierabend!: Used specifically when someone is finishing work. It's a very common 'functional' goodbye in Germany.

Bis später, Tschüs!

For formal phone calls, remember to use Auf Wiederhören instead of Auf Wiedersehen. Since you can't 'see' (sehen) the person on the phone, you 'hear' (hören) them again. However, if the phone call is informal, Tschüs is perfectly fine and much more common than the formal alternatives.

Alles Gute, Tschüs!

Hauste rein!: Very slangy, used among young men mostly. It's like 'Peace out' or 'Catch ya'.

Wir sehen uns, Tschüs!

語源

Tschüs originated from the Low German word 'adjüs'. This Low German form was a corruption of the French 'adieu', which means 'to God'. It entered the German language through maritime and trade contacts in Northern Germany.

元の意味： To God (a commendation of the person to God's protection).

Germanic (with Romance roots).

文化的な背景

Generally very safe. Avoid only in extremely formal contexts (courtrooms, high-level diplomatic meetings).

It is most similar to 'Bye' or 'See ya'. It is less formal than 'Goodbye' but more formal than 'Peace out'.

The song 'Tschüss' by the German hip-hop group Fettes Brot. Commonly used in German TV shows like 'Tatort' to end casual scenes. Often used in German advertising to create a 'friendly neighbor' brand voice.

No, 'Tschüs' is not rude. It is simply informal. In modern Germany, it is used in almost all daily interactions, including with strangers in shops. Only use 'Auf Wiedersehen' if you want to be very formal or respectful.
