This exercise is testing our vocabulary knowledge concerning “farewell statements” in Spanish.
The first question asks how we would say farewell to a someone who we will see soon. If we look back at page 8 we can find the vocab and we need. Commit these phrases to memory as they are very important in conversational Spanish.

Hasta pronto

The key word in this description is “tomorrow”. We have specific vocabulary to use when we are going to see someone tomorrow, and want to convey that through our farewell. It is once again one of our phrases that begins with *hasta*, which we translate as “until” or more specifically “see you”, as in “until tomorrow” or “see you soon”

Hasta mañana

There are many different farewells you could use when you’re saying goodbye to someone and you don’t know when you’re going to see them next, but the word that stands out to me here is “see”, because there is a Spanish phrase that conveys the message “see you” without specifying the time frame. This phrase, according to page 8, is nos vemos.

Nos vemos

In this case, we are going to see our subject in a few days, so we want to say goodbye in a way that will reiterate the impermanence of the goodbye and how we will be seeing them at a later point. The best translation of this in English is “see you later”. Thankfully, we have a direct translation of this on our vocabulary sheet: Hasta luego

Hasta luego

In Spanish, the phrases “good morning/evening/night” are used similarly to how they’re used in English, however, as we can see on page 8, *buenas noches* can translate as either “good evening” or “good night” and are used in different contexts; one as a greeting, one as a farewell.

Buenas noches.

If you’re in a hurry and have to go, there is a phrase that means, literally “I have to go”. While this is a phrase that is maybe used less frequently, it is a still an important phrase to have in your arsenal.

Tengo que irme
