Saying goodbye is the way you often close a conversation. The goodbye is important because it paves the way for the next meeting between the speakers.

As in the case of greetings, you have very limited options when saying goodbye. There are basically two factors that govern the choice you will make: the time of day (only Buenas noches can be used as a ‘goodbye’) and the nature of the relationship with the other person. For example, chao tends to be used more informally, whereas there are also general ways of saying goodbye that can be applied to both familiar and formal contexts, for example. Adiós.
