- Lucas: Hey Luna, welcome back to Learn Spanish with Fexingo. Luna: Hey Lucas. Yeah, good to be here again. Lucas: So last time we did that bakery scene with greetings. Luna: Right, with 'hola' and 'buenos días' and all that. Lucas: Exactly. Today let's keep it super simple. We're talking about saying goodbye. Luna: Oh, perfect. Because you can't just walk away without saying anything. Lucas: Totally. So the most basic way to say goodbye in Spanish is 'Adiós'. Luna: Adiós. Lucas: Yeah. It means 'goodbye'. Let's break it down. A-di-ós. Luna: A-di-ós. Lucas: There you go. Now at normal speed: Adiós. Luna: Adiós. Lucas: Nice. You got it. Luna: So that's like a general 'bye', right? Lucas: Right. It works anytime, anywhere. But there's another super common one. Luna: Oh, what's that? Lucas: 'Hasta luego'. It means 'see you later'. Luna: Hasta luego. Lucas: Good start. Let's go slow: Has-ta lu-e-go. Luna: Has-ta lu-e-go. Lucas: Exactly. Now normally: Hasta luego. Luna: Hasta luego. Lucas: Perfect. So you have 'adiós' for goodbye, and 'hasta luego' for see you later. Luna: Got it. Can we try them in a little scene? Lucas: Absolutely. Let's imagine we're friends hanging out, and I have to leave. Luna: Okay, I'm ready. Lucas: Alright. So we've been chatting, and I say: 'Oof, I should get going.' Luna: Right. And I say... 'Adiós'? Lucas: Yeah, or 'hasta luego' if we'll see each other soon. Luna: Okay, let's do it. You start. Lucas: Bueno, me tengo que ir. Hasta luego, Luna. Luna: Hasta luego, Lucas. Adiós. Lucas: Oh, that's so good. You used both. Luna: Yeah, I wanted to practice. Lucas: Let's flip it. You're leaving this time. Luna: Okay. Uhh... 'Adiós, Lucas.' Lucas: 'Adiós, Luna. Hasta luego.' Luna: Oh, you added the 'hasta luego' back. Lucas: Right, because I'm hoping we'll chat again soon. Luna: That's cute. I like that. Lucas: So 'adiós' is more final, and 'hasta luego' implies you'll meet again. Luna: Makes sense. Like if I'm ending a phone call with my mom, I might say 'adiós'. Lucas: Totally. Or if you're leaving work and seeing coworkers tomorrow, 'hasta luego'. Luna: Okay, let me try saying them again. Adiós. Lucas: Adiós. Luna: Hasta luego. Lucas: Hasta luego. You're nailing it. Luna: Thanks. So these are just two, but they cover a lot, right? Lucas: Absolutely. With 'hola' from earlier episodes and these, you can start and end conversations. Luna: That's satisfying. Like a little bookend. Lucas: Exactly. Alright, quick recap. What's the word for 'goodbye'? Luna: Adiós. Lucas: And 'see you later'? Luna: Hasta luego. Lucas: Perfect. One more time together? Luna: Sure. Adiós. Lucas: Adiós. Hasta luego. Luna: Hasta luego. Lucas: There it is. Great work today. Luna: Yeah, this was fun. And useful. Lucas: For sure. Thanks for practicing with me, and thanks to everyone listening with Fexingo. Luna: Absolutely. Keep saying those phrases till we chat again. Lucas: Adiós, everyone. Luna: Hasta luego.
