Turkish Survival Phrases, Lesson 5: Turkish parting greetings.

Lesson focus
In this lesson, we'll introduce parting greetings.
A parting expression that we can use any time of the day to strangers or friends is Güle güle, which literally means "Leave while smiling." I know it sounds funny, but partings generally contain a bit of sadness, so this expression tries to make up for that. You can think of it as a Turkish version of "bye-bye."
Let's break it down. Gü-le gü-le. Once more, Güle güle.
You can also say Görüşürüz, which literally means "See you later." Let's break it down, Gö-rü-şü-rüz. Görüşürüz.
This is a form of the Turkish word that means "to see." It's used with people we know and will possibly see again. Görüşürüz.
Another similar form is Bay bay, which is "bye-bye" in English. It is used the same way in Turkish as in English. Bay bay. Bay bay. Bay bay.
Put it with Görüşürüz and you get "Bye bye. See you soon." Let's break it down. Bay bay, gö-rü-şü-rüz. And once more, Bay bay. Görüşürüz
When we say "Goodbye," a more formal expression is Görüşmek üzere. This literally means "Until I see you." Let's break it down, Gö-rüş-mek ü-ze-re. Once more, Görüşmek üzere.
The first word, Görüşmek, is form of the verb for "to see." Gö-rüş-mek. Görüşmek. The next word, Üzere, means "until then." Ü-ze-re. Üzere.
All together, that's Görüşmek üzere. Görüşmek üzere.
This is used mostly with people we don't know or don't have a close relationship with.

Outro
Okay, to close out today's lesson, we would you to practice what you have just learned. I will provide you with the English equivalent of the phrase and you're responsible for shouting it aloud. You have a few seconds before I give you the answer. So, Iyi şanslar, which means "good luck" in Turkish.
