Lesson focus
Today, we'll introduce parting greetings.
A parting expression that we can use any time of the day to strangers is: Viszontlátásra, which literally means "goodbye."
Viszontlátásra.
Let's break it down by syllable: vi-szont-lá-tás-ra.
Now let's hear it again: Viszontlátásra.
The first half, viszont, means something like "again."
The second part is látásra, which is like "seeing you."
Let's look at the shortened form of this expression, also commonly used by Hungarians: Viszlát.
Visz-lát.
Viszlát.
This is a little bit less polite, but you can't really run into trouble using it.
As we learned in the last lesson, when parting or saying goodbye at night, the greeting Jó éjszakát is the appropriate choice.
Let's break it down by syllable: Jó éj-sza-kát
Now let's hear it again: Jó éjszakát.
Jó éjszakát.
We also learned two ways to greet friends in the last lesson, szia and the plural form used to address more than one person, sziasztok. The good news is that you can use these to say goodbye too! Szia, szi-a.
Szia
The plural form: sziasztok, szi-asz-tok.
Sziasztok

Outro
Okay, to close out today's lesson, we'd like for you to practice what you've just learned. I'll provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You'll have a few seconds before I give you the answer; so, sok szerencsét, which means "good luck" in Hungarian.
