Good-bye in Spanish

No, eso se oye mal, lo mas logico seria eliminarla, pero bueno seria como quitar parte de la historia de nuestro idioma, ninguna otra lengua romance la pronuncia tampoco, y aunque actualmente el español es alrededor de 97% fonetico, podria serlo aun mas, pero perderiamos una letra historica, practicamente solo la utilizariamos para los conjuntos CH y SH.

You can also say "Hasta otra".
Guest   Wed Jan 09, 2008 9:46 pm GMT
what? "hasta otra" doesn't make sense.
Guest   Wed Jan 09, 2008 10:01 pm GMT
It makes sense to my native Spanish ears. Also "hasta siempre" exists. It is just like hasta nunca but more polite, it even leaves a certain room but unlikely to meeting again the other person.

Hasta la vista, Hispanic underdogs!
Guest   Wed Jan 09, 2008 10:43 pm GMT
Hasta la XP also exists in Spanish.
Guest   Wed Jan 09, 2008 10:45 pm GMT
yes, they mostly use the latter, because they can't afford Vista yet

"Hasta más ver" is another Spanish expression meaning something like bye-bye. Also "andad con Dios" exists but it's only used by elderly people.

I'm also a native speaker and "hasta otra" makes no sense, "hasta siempre" does make sense, though it's not used very often.

Then hasta otra is not used in your coutry, but hasta otra is perfectly normal in Eurasian Spanish.
Guest   Thu Jan 10, 2008 12:11 am GMT
I meant to say country.
Guest   Thu Jan 10, 2008 12:45 am GMT
Another one: "hasta nunca jamás" (goodbye forever)
Guest   Thu Jan 10, 2008 1:03 am GMT
"Hasta ahora".
Guest   Thu Jan 10, 2008 1:08 am GMT
"Hasta la próxima"
