tchau
ciao
chow
The first is like saying 'goodbye' in portuguese, although they also say 'adeus' for longer goodbyes. The second is saying 'goodbye' in Italian, and of course they have a similar phrase in italian for longer goodbyes. Most of you will be familiar with the third. Chow in english is either something you feed your dog, something you do, or a name of a Chinese friend. So the similarities stick with the latin-based languages, but the germanic english is on its own. Oh english, you're so silly. You're the non-conformist of the european community. Thank goodness.
