A1 Expression 正式

잘 가요

jal gayo

Goodbye (informal, to person leaving)

意思

An informal farewell used by someone who is staying to a person leaving.

🌍

文化背景

The 'Bae-ung' (seeing off) culture means you should say '잘 가요' while standing up and ideally walking the person to the door. Sitting down while saying it can be seen as cold. In an office, the person staying always says '잘 가요' or '수고했어요' (you worked hard) to the person leaving. It acknowledges the effort of the day. On KakaoTalk, '잘 가요' is often shortened to '잘가' or even 'ㅂㅂ' (bye bye) among friends, but '잘 가요' remains the standard for polite group chats. Historically, '잘 가요' was a literal prayer for safety from tigers and bandits on mountain passes.

The 'Stay' Trap

If you are the one walking out the door, bite your tongue! Don't say '잘 가요'. Say '안녕히 계세요'.
