뜻
A formal way to say goodbye.
문화적 배경
Latvians value politeness in public. 'Uz redzēšanos' is the default for any interaction with a stranger. Similar formal goodbyes exist in Lithuanian ('Iki pasimatymo') and Estonian ('Nägemiseni'). In older generations, you might hear 'Do svidanija' (Russian), but 'Uz redzēšanos' is now the standard in all Latvian-speaking areas. Younger people in Riga might use 'Atā' even in semi-formal settings, but 'Uz redzēšanos' never fails.
The Safe Choice
If you are ever unsure about the formality of a situation, use 'Uz redzēšanos'. It is never wrong to be polite.
Don't overthink it
Latvians appreciate the effort of using the correct formal phrase, even if your accent isn't perfect.

Avoid 'Sveiki' for goodbyes
Many learners mix up 'Sveiki' (Hello) and 'Uz redzēšanos' (Goodbye). Remember: Sveiki = Hello, Uz redzēšanos = Goodbye.
