There are several ways to say goodbye in Toaq.
- It's never wrong to say (baıbaı) or (shaıdı), for example when you're parting ways or hanging up the phone.
- More lengthily, you can say (Shaıhıo ka) or (Shaıhıo jí súq ka) (I hereby bid you farewell).
- There's also the silly (jadıgıq) (which is like "unhello").
- Also, some people say (jadı) in all circumstances, even when taking leave.
- When you're heading out for a while but you'll return soon, you say (oka) "I'm heading out!" and the other person says (junı) "see you soon!"
- When you're leaving for a long journey, you say (koıka) "farewell" and the other person says (reına) "I'll miss you, be safe, take care".
