Explanation
Goodbye is a word we say when we leave someone or something. It shows that a person is going away but might meet again later. For example, she waved and said goodbye to her friends. It can also show emotion; saying goodbye can be happy (when leaving for a short time) or sad (when leaving for a long time). People also say bye, bye-bye, or see you later as friendly ways to say goodbye.
