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".
